Looking under the dash of a few other brands I saw 'China' on things.... Notice how other consumer goods are now being sold without any warranty? How about the shortening of warrantees from businesses. Take Costco for instance. They recently announced that electronics will only have something like a 90 warranty. Didn't it used to be at least a year? Again, I feel this is because everything is coming from China and the quality just isn't there. Sorry, but China sucks all the way around! We all loose our jobs when manufactures decide to have China build it. China's products suck in quality. In the grand scheme of things: how much is all of this really costing all of us?

And what happens for people who take the standard 39-month lease? They're out of warranty for the last three months on the lease? That sure as hell won't make me want to come back to VW when something blows up in month 38. Yeah, this doesn’t bode well for future VW owners.

This is just gonna keep people stuck into the lease game, which isn't bad in itself. Just depends on your personal situation. But not having a choice in the matters sours it a bit.

When I bought my first (and last) VW back in 2001, I received the standard 2 years/24,000 mile warranty. You can only imagine how quickly those 24,000 miles came and went. The very next year VW came out with the 4 years/50,000 mile warranty; my mother's '02 Passat came with this warranty. Now, 6 years later, VW is sliding downward towards yet another crappy warranty scheme. With the production of 4 closely matched cars (Rabbit, GTI, R32 and new 'Rocco) and a new warranty comparable to one I'd find on a toaster, is VW headed for doom?
