One word: $
I bought the VW because I could care less what emblems are on the damn thing. I have driven both extensively and have no regrets choosing the VW. Its sweet in every way, and I got far more options for far less money. All that stuff about the pepper being a different "experience" blah blah blah is BS... these people clearly haven't spent extensive time in both with an open mind...

I have a TT and never considered the VW. I had a BMW X5 4.6 and wanted the best.
