i know they own Audi

and Audi is the best selling luxury brand in Europe. Porsche and Lamborghini and mixed in with Audi/VW as well.

Herre is what Wiki says;

Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft) is a German automobile manufacturing group, currently the third largest automobile maker in the world,[4] and the largest in Europe. Porsche Automobil Holding SE holds a majority of voting rights within the company.[5]
Although it operates worldwide, Volkswagen Group's core market is continental Europe. Of its car brands, Volkswagen Passenger Cars is its mainstream marque, and the Group's major subsidiaries also include well-known car marques like Audi, SEAT, Škoda, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti. The Group also has operations in commercial vehicles, owning Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, along with a controlling stake in Scania AB and a 29.9% stake in MAN AG.
Volkswagen's second-largest market is China where its subsidiary, Volkswagen Group China is by far the second largest joint venture automaker.
The Volkswagen Golf is the third bestselling car in the world, selling over 25 million cars through 2006. In 2007 the Volkswagen Group sold 6.19 million automobiles, claiming over 10% of the world passenger car market.[citation needed] In late 2007, the company openly reported that they plan to double sales, overtake Toyota and become the world's largest automaker by 2018.[6]

I'm sorry but it's no surprise given Toyota's current product line. Anyone sat in a Camry/Corolla lately?

I don't like oversized marsh mellows with horrid fit and finish, vanilla styling and a driving attitude that belongs in a retirement community.
