It was a big, expensive Volkswagen . Notice that we can’t just say it was a big, expensive vehicle, because those adjectives are almost as much the norm as anything else – we must qualify those descriptors with the word “Volkswagen.” And we can’t help but think that’s part of the reason this go-almost-anywhere SUV never really made a splash anywhere in the U.S
