Forever, we hope.
Because we don‘t ever instend to change the Volkswagen’s shape.
We play by our own set of rules.
The only reason we change the VW is to make it work even better.
The money we dont spend on outside changes we do spend inside the car.
This system gives us an immense advantage: Time.
We have time to improve parts and still keep most of them interchangeable.
(Which is why it‘s so easy to get VW parts, and why VW mechanics don’t wake up screaming.)
We have time to put an immense amount of hand work into each VW, and to finish each one like a $6,000 machine.
And this system has also kept the price almost the same over the years.
Some cars keep changing and stay the same.
Volkswagens stay the same and keep changing.
