    I do own a current model... not sure how to take the news yet. I guess there are a lot of uncertainty around how they will honor the warranties and services as promised at this point.

    That's a shame. One less make of any interest in Australia.

    I put a lot of it down to the attitude most of my colleagues have, which is "if it's not a V8, it's a girl's car, it's not fast and I wouldn't even test drive one"

    It's a real shame - according to www.privatefleet.com.au they only sold 1,000 cars. Can that be right? Clearly not sustainable if so

    I think their biggest downfall was branding themselves as a premium brand. They should have really been competing with Skoda not VW from the get go.
