I had an Audi with hundreds of parts with VW logo on them. When I buy an Adui, I buy an Audi, not a VW. The least they could do was to change the logo. There is nothing wrong with a VW engine, most likely far more reliable than Porsche engine, but in the Porsche world, this one singular subject will kill the legitmacy of the Cayenne on the spot. Prior to this change, I could and have considered Cayenne as a 2nd vehicle, but it is completely out of question now. Any one with some knowledge of the 914, 924 even 928(928 S4 is my favorite), knows they were never considered by many to be part of the legit family members, especially 914.
VW is great as a runaround car, quality is poor by their own admission. My impression of a VW is not a new one, but of those 3, 5 10 years old junk, somehow that is what happen to all of VWs. The true test of quality is how long it will last. VW has been the last place runner in industry reports for decades, Dr. Piech himself said so in interviews. IMHO.
