I'm confused as to your comment stating that "The Volkswagen was a terrible car". Which Volkswagen?
In my 40 years of driving, I've owned 10 VWs, and most of them were very nice cars. I owned 3 Beetles (air-cooled ones), 4 Cabriolets & 3 Jettas.
The best were a 1967 Bug, a 1974 Super Beetle, a 2002 Jetta GLX Wagon, & my favorite - a 1993 Cabriolet.

"The bottom line: cars today are made solely for profit, nothing else."
That's how cars have been for a long, long time. A few were built for something other than profit, but that's been the main motivation for the last 50 years or so.
