Heck, they're behind Hyundai and most of the GM brands in the JD Power ratings! Porsche has been doing very well in the profitability and customer satisfaction departments, but it's one thing to make an expensive car good, it's another to have that same level of quality and satisfaction on cars that cost 1/3 to 1/4 the price.

VW has a long way to go to compete with Toyota. They really need a plant in the US to keep costs down. They are scared to release many EU models in the US due to the costs involved with shipping them over and the incumbent products in those other car markets. Yet they release a turd like the Phaeton. They have some great cars but some of their business choices are a bit odd. I’m a big VW fan but you’re on the money. VW has a long way to go to compete with Toyota.
