Here is an idea, perhaps VW should work on (a) QC of the components they recieve from thier suppliers and ( Customer Service |

I agree! Get the gremlins out of the current production cars. VW has a very bad rep right now concerning the quality of its build. Zach |

If it had a speedster windshield and top then I would consider it as a commuter/fun car also! |

They have already worked on that, the QC issues they had were from the cars built in Mexico and Brazil (Jetta and Golf). Those cars are now being made in Germany. Only time will tell though. I think it's a cool idea, but just a fun car, nothing serious. If you want a bike, get a bike... |

Its an interesting idea. I don't know if the local cops would let that pass for a motorbike in the carpool lanes though. At least not in NOVA where I am usually driving. Zach |

"It opens a new driving dimension, turns even the daily commute to work into a small trip to freedom, allows you to cruise in the carpool lane, even if you’re driving solo (the GX3 is a motorcycle, after all!) " |

Cool Concept Car/motorcycle!!! Solex, Those are definately things VW needs to work on. I personally have experienced their lack of customer service. I have a customer that they have given bad enough service she wont let them touch her car. They also didn't do most of the work correctly. I had to put a clutch in her car that the dealership had replaced 10K mi before. They forgot to tighten quite a few bolts. They only tightened 3 out of 6 of the pressure plate bolts. The others we're even threaded in all the way. She was telling me the clutch never felt like it was engaging correctly since they put it in. This is only one incidence. There have been several like this with them. VW lost a good customer over that. She will not buy another one due to the service, or lack of, that the local dealership provides. John |

But it might not happen. Word has it that ol' Bernd wants Piech off his board. Apparently, he didn't know too much about the Porsche/Piech plan to acquire 20 percent of his company until it was too late. He is not happy and has issued nice statements like VW won't change its direction or strategy to accomodate Porsche.... I predict a falling out for him. Again. pete |
