I did not say Tom was cluttering up the net, you are only acknowledging that
he is a fanatic.

WHAT ! another gullible person who believes whatever he reads.
The drivers who do the tests are quite good and deserve all the respect
due them. It is the editors, writers, and statisticians who convert the
facts to fit the EXPECTED results.

I am not posting articles to enlighten everyone, you just happen to be one of
the few who does not agree with my opinion of the VW line .
You see I DO own a VW (you did not indicate that you did) I am speaking
from experience gained through my own testing.
