I was thinking that could be the case, but it does have the VW symbol... it's also on the center caps on the wheels (cant see in the pictures, but that's the first place I noticed the VW symbol). I'm sure someone on here can identify this car, VW or not.

thanks! When I looked up sterling it pulled up a VW dealership so I assumed that the sterling badge was just one that the dealer put on.
