So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

Pppp

Do they not offer that for VW or are you buying straight off the lot?

WYSIWYG

VW is the budget brand of the VW group.
For the TRoc there are 3 lines. For each line you can choose: the only engine for that line, some colours, and the only interior colour for that line. Options are a sunroof and a "all or nothing" body styling package which has a few things.

Ah, fair enough then.

With Audi (part of the same group) if you're buying brand new you can customise and have it built without. Do they not offer that for VW or are you buying straight off the lot?

No, it was a car in stock, I just don't want it being referred to as rocky, shudder.....
It is the R Line, sunroof and so on. The boss did a couple of thou driving her visiting rellos around and likes it.

What does that make Škoda then?

 

[Quickstatus]

Škoda

Adopted Budget cousin.

 

[Cossie]

I would rate SEAT below Škoda, interesting sight in LP, I thought that model/name was dead!

SEAT

Who makes the ridiculously named EV Cupra.
Apparently the translation is Racing or something similar but it is also latin for copper.
If a metal is to be conjured in the marketing, Titanium would be good but copper?

BTW where is the Roc made. Its a european factory, not Deutch but maybe Spain, Czech or similar?

According to Wikipedia, depending on the target market...

• Portugal: Palmela (Autoeuropa)
• China: Foshan, Guangdong (FAW-VW)
• Germany: Osnabrück (VW Osnabrück; cabriolet only)

Cupra is effectively a brand in its own right these days, but it was originally SEAT's hot hatch. According to Cupra, the "...name can be traced back to our triumphant origins in motorsport – a fusion of 'Cup' and 'Racing'."

So..

Portugal

Portugal it is. I think of all my VW only one or two were actually made in Deutch.

According to Cupra

Yeah but the translation that stands out to me is copper

There are some marketing fail vehicle names:

 

[tgh]

Mi eg was built in Slovakia just like the oldeg, both with very high build quality.
Sales said it was made in Wolfsburg.. garbage.. maybe that was where it got the sticker but thats all….

 

[Quickstatus]

Wolfsburg.

I have a Wolfsburg badge on one of the VW and its actually made in Wolfsburg factory according to the VIN and assuming its believable.
If the VIN 11th digit is W, its made in Wolfsburg

The 11th digit is the last one before the 6 numbers on the right side of the VIN

As said above, Portugal, originally the factory was set up as a Ford/VW operation.

Volkswagen Autoeuropa - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The Golf we owned a few years ago was built in South Africa, also the 323i beemer I had briefly was built there as well.

If 11th digit is V then its portugal
