It's getting comical how many Ls VW has taken over the past few years. You could make the argument that VW was the coolest non-luxury automaker of the 2000s with highly unusual cars like VR6-powered Golfs/Jettas, W8-powered Passats, diesels available on basically everything (remember the V10 Touareg?), etc. Then dieselgate happened and out went all the cool stuff for completely soulless and mediocre crossovers, with the only holdouts about to be stuck with the wrong transmission for the rest of their existence. And the 380 name is dumb, nobody cares about some irrelevant internal model code that has never been used anywhere by any non-VW employee ever to refer to the car.
