Eisengruber, I VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC. A That's how many times we inspect a Volkswagen. These are some of the ok's our little car has to get in our factory. (It's easy to tell the ok's from the no's. One no is all you ever see.) We pay 8,397 people just to look for things to say no to.

And no is no. A visitor from Brazil once asked us what we were going to do about a roof that came through with a dent in it. Dents are easy to hammer out. So what we did shook him a little. We smashed the roof down to a metal lump and threw it out in the scrap pile.

We stop VWs for little things that you may never notice yourself. The fit of the lining in the roof. The finish in a doorjamb. In the final inspection alone, our VW has to get through 342 points without one blackball. One out of 20 doesn't make it.

But you should see the ones that get away.
