Anyway, VW design today combines the "greatness" of being vague, naive and sterile. Audi follows the suit.

What's most lacking in today's auto industry is iconoclasm. There aren't enough automakers that are willing to take the kinds of risks that VW did back in the day. The result: You may have a record number of choices in a given vehicle class but very little meaningful differences.
Any of the automakers that are on the verge of disappearing from the US market could revive themselves if they took a page from VW. Alas, it won't happen. Group think is too strong in today's auto industry.
