I don't know if these cross-breed dealers are a US only thing but
I've never seen one anywhere near Winnipeg.  If my VW dealer started
selling Dodges or any other crappy product I think that would be it
for me.  The VW dealers here will even work on Vanagons (I couldn't
find one in Toronto that would) although at their prices I couldn't
afford to keep it on the road ...
