It wasn't just VAG, Mercedes and BMW and a few other companies were also involved, they just did not get as much "advertising" as VAG.

And about your posts, if you would make some further explanation like "I used to have an A6, got warranty denied for whatever problem, I was very disappointed" instead of phrases like "I would never touch Audi again" that make you sound like an Audi troll, the new people will get your message clearer.
I believe your comments are well intended, and thank you for your guidance. However, you seem to need to de-emotionalize the events that took time, effort, being disrespected and treated with dishonesty, and resulted in a significant loss to dump the vehicle. I have recounted the facts more than once. My overall human response remains that I would never touch Audi again or do anything that profits them a penny. If you or another considers that sincerity being a "troll", there is nothing more I can do to address that. I won't pretend the outrage was absent.

The fact that they treated you like shit and handled it horribly is the entire point, isn't it? Had the whole situation been handled differently - same car trouble but different response - it's not a stretch to say you could easily be singing Audi's praises. Man I got a shit car but they stepped up and did the right thing, I'm never driving anything but Audi's. Completely reasonable alternate ending.
