Beautiful car and certainly a keeper.

It's a shame that cars are no longer built that way. Mercedes and a handful of other makes were an exception. My first car was 1968 VW Type 1 Sedan. Very well built, sturdy materials but it didn't cost Volkswagen a fortune to produce.

My current daily is a 2019 VW Golf Alltrack (only my 2nd Volkswagen). It's a good car, reliable, etc. But it's disappointing how cheaply everything is screwed together. Working in the engine bay, the majority of fasteners are plastic clips that make me cringe when I undo them (is it gonna break on me?). Everything seems low budget. Pretty much all cars now are the same (some a little better than others).
