My wife's grandfather owned an MG dealership after the war. It was either that or a VW dealership and he figured that no one here (or anywhere for that matter!) would buy a German car. It seems kind of funny to think nowadays that there was a time when VW's, Porsches and Mercedes were considered to be terrible cars and no self respecting person would be caught dead in one!
Nowadays even the entry level VW's are in pretty high demand. And, from a former VW owner, I'd buy another one in a second...
