Speaking of the 70s, My family and I had a few VWs over the years. The last of them in the early 80s because of the way they treated us and the product quality. I got the nastiest letter from them when I placed a claim to have them pay for failed valve stem seals at 27K miles. They accused me of not changing my oil, etc. Nothing is ever their fault. I joined a class action lawsuit against them and won. After this I wrote them a nasty-gram stating I hope the Japanese run them down into the ground. They still have not recovered from their arrogance. I drove the 2006 Hyundai Sonada when it came out and that car is nice and thousands less than a Camry and Accord.
