So why is VW so popular? You can spend less money on a Seat Leon and still get the same package as a Golf. That makes no sense either, right?

It's the look, I guess. Too bad we only get the VWs. Would be nice to see a Cupra running around here.

VW is so popular because of the look. You can be more creative than you can with a honda or acura ugly POS. Those car have no origanality. I don't think I would ever own one just because everyone seems to have one. People are getting into VW so much now I don't know what kind of car I'll drive. VW let's you go faster than a honda and look good doin it. VW owners feel good about their car no matter what. I love my VW. I wouldn't trade it for a brand new RSX or Civic Si ever. Dub for life!!! Heres my Dub. I know it's not much but I love it!!!

Hmmmmm..... engines aren't that strong.... BMW 6 IL are much better, diesels are powerful but not that refined like the Alfa's or Peugeots

BMW is a whole new ball game bro. Bimmers can desimate all VW's I know this my neighbor builds them for racing. The point I'm makine I guess is that VW's are better than Acuras and Hondas. They look nicer and go faster. When you get into the European stuff like Alpha and all those other ones. VW doesn't even exsist. BMW is a great company. That is my dream to own a BMW but I can't afford it. I'm 17 years old. I make like 7.50 an hour. I couldn't afford the issurance if I had a car payment. But Conparing VW to those cheap ricers, VW is way better.

Yeah, although BMW makes damn fine cars, only the M3 models have a serious international following. Volkswagon makes several of these cult classics.

You're right I guess. The M3 is where most of the hype is at. although the 325ci is a way more affordable car for suping up. VW makes going fast more affordable.

So if BMW is a whole new ballgame, why you're comparing Honda to VW?

Well, Honda and VW are more of a realitstic comparison. I would never buy a Honda because I think they're ugly and slow. That's my opinion but VW is a better type of car. They're are way cheaper too. Easier to work on. The lists is long. I know a few guys that are into Hondas but they say if they had the chance to go back and buy that jetta or golf when they bought their first honda they would. I think that's pretty funny.

I guess you're comparing the previous generation to honda's, that's a fair comparison. cause back then, here in europe, the main competion of VW was Opel/Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault and others... but now with the new generation of VW's, they are focusing on BMW's and Merc's trying to share the same level as Audi, look at Nardo ( W12 ) new Phaeton, Tuared and the Passat W8. That's why i find it odd, you compared them to honda.
