Have you seen the plastic parts in BMW or Mercedes now? Even Maybachs are fragile shit. VW really hasn't kept up scamming with it's brothers.

Dieselgate was a pretty big scam. Though they bought back my old car for the original purchase price so I’m not mad.

They were caught like amateurs. Mercedes on the other hand will sell you a car for $200,000 that costs $5,000 and a few days to fix every 20,000 miles. And they still get their heated seat subscription while it's in the shop.
