    Because the typical car lounger thinks it's some badge of honor to say that they don't go to VWVortex. They're like hipsters...only worse.

    I've noticed the "I'm so above VW" sentiment from some posters here. TCL hipsters.


    In other news, that Alltrak looks great. It looks more rugged than the A4 Allroads they've been selling over here, and more fun than the plain-old-North-American-Passat.

    *sigh*

    As was mentioned earlier, many of us come through the VWV portal simply because it's the best laid out. I used to use the TCL dedicated portal until the site went all pear shaped a few years ago. That was back when the actual Car Lounge magazine site was still kicking.

    I have no hate for VWs (I have had one in my driveway at two different times), but my interest in them is no more than with any other particular brand. When they release a new model or refresh, I'm curious. But as of today, there's nothing in their stores I'd consider buying, despite my using VWV to get into the Lounge, OT, or the TV and Movies forum.

    Again, no hate for the brand. No love either. It's just a means to an end. It does however get annoying when some kid insists on banning people who criticize the brand because, "This is a site for dubberzzzzzzzz!".

    Meh... Most of those people hang out in their model specific forums. The rest of us just don't care.

    "TCL vs VWVortex" babbling holds less than 85% of my interest.

    Good looking Passat wagon pix only provide more evidence VWoA sucks ass.
    There are no old Porsches - just new owners.
