It will, and it will cost $67,000 because only 12,000 people will buy one, and they don't care how much it costs.

Indeed, it will be a challenge for VW to make the Chrysler van feel like a real Volkswagen.
Uh, how hard is it to add electrical gremlins to an existing product?

And $30k is still too much for it. It well sell exactly lik ehte last VW van did. People will go and buy it because it's a VW van, most without so much as sittign in it first.

Which was good, because it sucked ballz.

no, n00berina. Different car companies do sometimes make cars for another companies. They just rebrand it. Just look at the Chevy Forester they have in the middle east somewhere. They are foresters, with a bowtie.

Or the the toyota Matrix. Have you ever looked at a VIBE and though, wait.... don't they look the same. It's because they are.

actually GM owned a little over 20% (20.768 iirc, dont ask) which is why some of the 04-05 up end legacys had an OnStar option. 8.7% of the GM stock was bought up by toyota and another 3.5% by an unnamed investor most likely a PE firm or hedge.

before GM owned that 20% it was owned by nissan, which is why FHI still sources some parts from nissan factorys.
