Volkswagen now owns all these brands.

If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities - Luke 16:10

However remember this: Speed thrills, then it kills.


Sometime ago, maybe around last year, there used to be this female moniker that was ALWAYS the first to comment on every doggone thread on NL. It's not Lady F but Lady F used to be pretty active then with her signature "it's Lady F again".

I think she was a masters student at ui at the time. Trying to remember her moniker. And get a hold of her.

I still don't get the concept of building very fast sportcars, that can only be driven at less the stated speed limit.
I think these cars are not meant for road users, but race tracks.
