Out of the 837,000 ibooks sold in 2003, 0.2% of all ibooks were affected.Your analogies suck for two reasons: 1: take a look at the huge problems apple is having with quality control and returns on the ibooks. They've finally started admitting there's a problem (after months and months of consumer outrage) http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/ Sure, no company goes without having a glitch in their production or something at some point -- that's life.2: VW build quality control and reliability sucks as well. Theres a long list of problems every Jetta owner will eventually see. Most are not covered by a recall or other warranty replacement. I can only imagine the problems the Toureg owners will be seeing in a brand new platform. Apple acknowledges their problems with their hardware, fixes it and makes sure it doesn't happen again. VW fixes their problems and makes sure they don't happen again. Microsoft acknowledges their problems and says "F**k you, we're Microsoft. Deal with it". *shrug* sorry about your luck. I've had nothing but good luck with my Rabbit that went 15 years on it's original clutch (and I drove like Andretti in those days). Aside from some body work on my GTI now, there aren't any crippling mechanical issues. You must just have really bad luck.Not to mention that most VW dealers are raging crooks, and VWOA does nothing to stop or discourage their theft and fraud. http://matt.ethereal.net/ggvw/ As an iBook owner, and a VW owner, I can say with authority that I'd think twice before making another Apple or VW purchase. Too bad. The moral of the story is that theres always a downside, and you should take any evangelist's schpiel with a giant salt lick. As we have done here.. Now, then, I'm done. Back to on-topic stuff. matto
