Nothing personal, but I hope they sue the hell out of VWAG for such a flagrantly irresponsible design flaw. How many of us haven't been on a totally straight piece of road early in the morning and pushed our cars way beyond what was legal or even prudent--even if it was ony once in our lives?. The point is that we shouldn't have to pay with our lives for poor judgement. Just my $0.02...well, maybe more like $2.00:) Philip
