Smackdown on VW.
I hope GM and never never can own VW.
Last time an ex-GM exec ran VWoA, it was a disaster. Remember the
American Rabbit, built in Westmoreland? It was so bad that VW sales
plumetted until they brought a German back on board.
The only interesting result of that period was the Rabbit Pickup.
