OK, but still USA is just 1 of the 3 biggest markets in the world, and the one where VW is doing worst.
All three brands are very reliable, so i bet the margin in that regard isn't big between them.
On a global scale VW remains ahead of Hyundai.

And I'm sure VW is a lot cheaper in Europe. My uncle bought an Audi when he lived in Germany because it made sense there, and now he drives a Japanese car because Audis don't make sense in the US.
If you buy German, you need to be ready to spend a lot on maintenance and repairs here in the US.
We get it; you drive a VW
No I was using Mitsubishi for many years, but unfortunately their quality declined.
Now I drive an old Opel, but currently I wouldn't buy anything from Stelantis.
