OK - lets tackle the issue.
Is the engine VW in origin or Bugatti?
Is the car completely engineered by Bugatti technology, money and resources or VW sourced assets?
And calling the it the Bugnasty Vagrant is no different to any other name calling that goes on un-challanged around these parts. |
It matters not a jot. The Bugatti Veyron is the Bugatti Veyron, not the Volkswagon Veyron. As for your name-calling, it's sad and two-faced. |
Yeah - only 2-faced because you fail to admit that Bugatti as a company was off the map, wiped out and bankrupt by 1995/96.
which means the "new" resurrected Bugatti is simply a VW subsidiary, much like SEAT - the happen to be called Bugatti and are cashing in on the gullibilty of the easily impressed.
VW didnt buy a flourishing compnay selling hundreds of thousands of cars, as Mercedes did when they bought Chrylser, parent of Dodge - which is why the Dodge Viper
is the Dodge Viper, not the Mecedes Viper...
However, no matter ho wyou slice it, any modern era Bugatti is actually a VW product
Doesn't change that it's a fast straight line product. but be honest - if it was called the VW Uber-Coupe people would make fun of it's single use and high price... but simply because they chose to build this under the Bugatti name people worship it like its a god or something - and they quite clearly could have chosen to build it under any name they wanted to - it's their money afterall.
Anyway - if all y'all have to be impressed and enarmoured by this overwieght overpriced VW so be it..
