Will the U.S. Fight the German Car Invasion?

I continue to marvel at the completely undeserved reputation VW has for something akin to reliability and/or quality....they consistently perform year in and year out well below industry average...and yet their vehicles list at a signifcant premium for their feature content and horsepower....I guess these fawning 30 something's just can't past what they think is cool. I owned two VWs in my life and they were nothing but trouble. I'll keep my American metal.
