[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@@hugius1269 No but the torque is very good, so you can feel lots of pull. This has 500 HP and 737 lb-ft of torque, which is absolutely insane for a car like this. It's common with diesel engines to have lots of torque, and I believe it's because of the compression and pressure when the diesel fuel is being burned. But that torque is more low-end than high-end.

[@davidtheguitarman]

Can you blame them? from what I recall reading, 80% of new cars are financed for an average of 3 years. The younger generation want a new car every 3 years so they can look cool to their friends. The cars are therefore designed to be replaced after 3 years these days, VW decided it would save them money and also make more profit if they all shared platforms. MQB and MLB platform vehicles pretty much share everything except from the styling.
