My Ex-wife's Corrado...
I always thought the underhood temperature for the Volkswagen VR6 engine was way too hot - and that they used waaaay too many plastic parts. I don't know why I never put two and two together in regards to how bad that would be if there were some random wear and tear type of mechanical failure with that engine - until now...w00t! GO VOLKSWAGEN!
Wow! Did she ever add oil to it? 
There is very little (if any) plastic on my Mercedes except in the little things like water reservoir, fuse box, etc. Even the air-box is metal, which isn't all that common. (at least on the German cars I've had)
Volkswagen does tend to overdo it on the plastic parts. I do like their new models though. (probably even more plastic though) Pretty soon they'll start using plastic gears in the transmission.
