Yeah one of those, why bother type things.
Far as I (well wikipedia) knows, VW already had vehicles in the luxury
bracket, such as the Audi A8 and Bentley. I think the would have been
better off to put money into the Bentley brand to build it up to be a
competitor to BMW and MB. Or build Audi into a more fancy brand, trying
to get a third horse in the race is a waste of resources.
You're quite right that VW is seen as a value for money brand and trying
to be everything for everybody can soon leave you as being nothing to
nobody.

What the? is VW thinking, trying to make a fattylac? GM screwed them
up plenty already. No wonder Vdubs are a POS anymore. They are
supposed to be simple, folks cars, easy to work on, cheap to buy,
cheap to own, cheap to operate, cheap to fix. That is part of why
bugs were so popular.
The other part was because they dared to be different, had great
advertising by DDB, emphasizing the differences, and they were so
homely they were cute. "It was the only thing to do after the mule
died" "Think small" I have a bunch of those ads I saved from my desk
surroundings in college, along with toaster tank BMW ads and the MB
108 ad that was also brilliant. "some people think buying a house is
the most important investment they will ever make"
A VW fattylac deserves to be a resounding flop.
