A VW badge on a high-end luxury vehicle just doesn't seem right either.

It'd be like .... oh, I dunno ... putting your Marks and Spencer's shopping in a Lidl carrier bag. When, clearly, this is the right way round to do it ...

Ha ha ha ha ha. I can neither confirm, nor deny where the said bag or shopping is from.

The aluminium did bring me to my previous car (A2) and now my A8, and the extra weight and potential for rust does indeed seem a step backwards. Still, I am drawn to them. A bit.
