From what I just read Ferdinand Piech took the wheel at VW in '93.
His Father, that used to run it, would probably be the one to answer our questions. Yes, I agree, it would be really cool to have a maker of our cars answering questions.
Ferdinand is the one responsible for bringing VW out of their slump with the revival of the new Bug along with the Pasat and other VW sedans.
