I agree with that, but I think Js was referring to the fact I said "WV" by accident, and he thought it was West Va.


Also BMWs have very little electronic failures and issues compared to VWs. Especially Jettas, which are known to give trouble about 40 or 80k, but I guess that wouldnt matter for Js if he is getting rid of ride every 3-5 years.

No, Acura to Honda is not equal to BMW to VW. Honda and Acura have the same parent companies, while BMW and VW have different parent companies. A correct correlation would be Acura is to Honda what Audi is to VW.

Not to cause a stir, but does that mean, Chevy / Ford / Dodge / Cadillac / Pontiac / Buick etc are all the same too??

German cars are are very similar in parts, as are the ones above. When it comes to fixing them (German cars) it's just not that different between VW, Audi, BMW..etc.

.. and you love to cause a stir, don't kid yourself.
