We need more long term action in the technical section.

It makes me nervous that they include a photo of the Onstar button.

As if to say, "You'll become familiar with this."
VW uses/used OnStar?!?!
I was thinking the same thing.
'edit' Did a quick google search. VW did have ON-Star. You would think that would be some they would really want to advertise. Being VW and all. :rofl:

Go with the V70R.... maybe an A4 3.2.

Everything in life is relative.

Kinda scary when the more reliable recommendations are a Volvo and an Audi. :)
