Well, I don't want to discount this as a bad idea immediately, but there are definitely some question marks:

First of all, is VW going to be designated as the official payor on the policy? Will there be a payor change after the first year? Is the driver or VW the owner? If the driver is, what if he/she refuses to do the payor change? Will VW simply let the policy lapse? Wouldn't that then contradict with its goal of selling cars and having a customer base of good, loyal drivers? Also, aren't the good drivers subsidizing the bad ones here? Do you know if they treated these VW purchaser as a "group," hence not having to jack up the price for the good drivers (compared with had they bought individual policies)?
