  • Will VAG do a MB 3 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    I do not want to kill off the 2 threads currently on the forum: 1) Will VAG go the same way as BL and 2) the Daily telegraph Special report, but having read the interesting input from both it struck me - does anyone think VAG are already going the same way as Mercedes Benz by reducing quality whilst remaining expensive, and will they suffer the same problems daimler Chrysler currently have. I would be interested in your views (NB: I am not VAG bashing here - having owned 7 prebviously).
