skoda and seat?

11/15/2005 1:33:52 PM

^ Never heard of them? or Questioning why they are so high?

11/15/2005 1:37:47 PM

Skoda is owned by VW-Audi Group. Back when they were an independent manufacturer out of the Czech Republic, they made cheap, laughably bad cars, but after the VAG takeover their reputation has gone steadily upward.

When I went to eastern europe after college, i rented a skoda...it was an older model, but still fine for the price we paid...the new ones are really nice, esp the octavia

11/15/2005 1:47:32 PM

dunno much about Seat ("say-aht" I think) but they have a lot of wrc cars

seat is also. and VAG doesnt stand for VW-Audi Group, its Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft

Aktiengesellschaft is german for corporation

I've always thought the old Citroen DS's were cool.

11/15/2005 2:13:53 PM

^^ah, that makes sense.

As to the Citroens,they've always made some innovative cars. The Citroen Traction Avant was way ahead of its time in the 40's, the DS was straight out of sci-fi when it hit the market in the mid 50's, the SM of the 70's was a cooperation with Maserati, all the way up to the XM of the late 90's. Unfortunately, quality and innovation didn't exactly go hand in hand.

11/15/2005 3:28:23 PM

^lol, no it doesn't make sense. How's pulling a random "g" out of the word to make it VAG make sense, lol.

Thats like calling Mercedes-Benz MDB

11/15/2005 3:50:43 PM

^ they suck too

11/15/2005 3:54:33 PM

^^ i believe it is NOT a random g.

anyway, everybody outside of the garage knows what VAG stands for.

VAGINA

11/15/2005 5:12:17 PM

it makes perfect sense if you understand that the abreviation used for Aktiengesellschaft is AG, as it appears after every major german corporation. Volkswagen AG = VAG

11/15/2005 5:20:01 PM

two dudes (DUDES) from my history class got really pissed today when I referred to the teacher of a woman's studies class as a vag. I was like damn I didn't realize you guys were so uptight... and the guy says "maybe you should learn to watch your mouth instead of telling us to lighten up. I'm not even a girl and I'm offended"

11/15/2005 6:36:33 PM

SEAT - Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo

11/15/2005 7:49:08 PM

man i'm really thinkin about a suburu after reading all that. i like the legacy awd in a flat 4 turbo
& cosworth makes engine parts for them too yay!

11/15/2005 8:17:31 PM

The British do not think highly of the French. This is newsworthy.

11/15/2005 8:21:59 PM

you have to own a car to fill out the survey on it dumbass its not like you can just say... hey i hate the french so their cars must suck too.

11/15/2005 8:27:20 PM

French<British<American<Japanese<German

I mean, the Brit's are only 1 step above the french.

I know I'll get flamed for this.

11/15/2005 8:31:47 PM

nahh its about right well honestly i put the japs above the germans and insert koreans between the GB & french

jap cars are more reliable than german imho even though german are better to drive & feel expensive.
once japs understand that all they need is more rwd & awd then they're golden

German cars come with blow jobs, which is why they are higher than Japanese cars. Same with Italian cars.
