Something kind of funny about vangon owners protesting to to
Volkswagen.  We all have a big sign on our backs that says "pteradactyl
here, we are weird people that like old cars and expressly do not buy new
cars!!"   How much do you think they care about offending  that segment of
the market??  At least indicate that you have fancy new Jettas and whatever
else they put in the marketplace at this time.

Shame on you for what you did to Volks Cafe. I am now LESS interested in
being associated with VW.

You have made a marketing blunder here, keeping 'Volks' in the public's eye
is GOOD for your
business.
If you are worried about the legal aspects, then license the name for $10.
My next car might just be a Toyota!
Shame on VW. Malcolm Stebbins, 1991 T3 Syncro Westy and 1997 Jetta TDI
