Have to say I quite like most of it.

'Teamed up with automotive parts and engineering company Mahle'

Mahle are the ones that produced the pistons for the 1.4 TSI twincharger - famed of course for its rock solid pistons that have never been known to suddenly crack or shatter into bits :D

I have no idea why VW changed all the pistons to KS in 2012 versions on the 1.4 tsi 160 - must also be some complete coincidence that piston failures on 2012 are pretty much non-existant.
