VWUS can do nothing when they have a van that nobody wants, just look at the
sales figures. I looked and drove the Eurovan and I kept going, putting that
dog Audi 5cyl engine in it did nothing for it. It sounds like a truck and
just is not refined as the Chrysler vans... Explain to me why Chrysler has
over 50% of the market and one of the highest percentages of return buyers.
VW has been building crap for a few years now, especially what the Mexicans
build.

Consumer reports does not like to see people get burned and with VW's track
record they are just telling the truth...I cannot believe that they llike
