Yeah really, I guess VW's quality isn't bad enough, and they want to make it even worse.

GM couldn't have picked a better company to teach them about interior ergonomics

It'll be a fun wager - will the car be recalled or break first?

Well, at least GM recalls before the public hates them. VW needs to take that page out of the GM book.

Which doesn't make much sense, considering VW overall quality is well below GM (though not likely every car).

I must admit, I mainly base my quality opinions on their cheap-ass cars like the Cavalier... pile of poo.

VW and Audi are the same. Is that mean Audi and GM are merging also?

 

[ElFenix]

GMs old school flavour with VW quality. hmmmm

why would they want worse quality?

yes, autounion would be a brand of gm/vw if they merged

I despise GM but love my VW.
Quarter million miles and still running strong and problem free, how many other cars can say that?
I'd buy another VW again anytime.

You'd be surprized how many well maintained cars make it to the 250k mile mark and beyond...

but just because your 1 car did doesn't mean that the thousands of others did as well.

 

[vi edit]

This could actually be pretty cool.

Maybe I could use my GM points on my GM card on a shiny new S4

Seriously though, this could be a good move. Chrysler is doing some cool stuff now that their merger is going full swing. The new 300C, Magnum, Pacifica and Crossfire are all products of that merger. Good stuff.

 

[GTaudiophile]

So, if this merger went through, the brands under one umbrella would be...

Chevrolet
Pontiac
Oldsmobile
Cadillac
Buick
GMC
Saturn
Hummer
Saab
Opel

Fiat (partly)
Subaru (partly)
Isuzu (partly)
Suzuki (partly)

Audi
Bently
Bugatti
Lamborghini
Seat
Skoda
Volkswagon


:Q

 

[Lounatik]

Now we can finally see the unholy union of a Skoda and a Sunfire............unleash hell !!!!!!!!!!!!





Peace

It'll definitely help GM keep it's #1 title in the world for awhile.

 

[Kelvrick]

Wouldn't this just mean crappier cars and more lost jobs? If so, I'm all for it!

Reallly though, maybe we should just have toyota and bmw control everything?

I like the idea of an LS6 or LS2 in a Passat.

Those were my exact thoughts.

 

[KGB1]

You guys went from speculation...denial...acceptance....to fantasy land where VW and GM cars are fused together to make the awsomest cars in the universe.

There will be no such fantasy cars you people dream about. I don't think the quality of cars (interior exterior) will change all that much. You guys just go down a slippery slope, I'm astonished that you would take the facts so lightly can be so conclusive in your responses.

If it happens, they'd better not fvck up my Lamborghini :|
