Ok, the subject with my biggest pet-peeve.  Right Shawn?

The A or Mk [synonyms] designation is generational/CHASIS specific NOT
necessarily 'BODY' specific.

ALL Scirocco's are or A1/MkI designation although a Scirocco body
style change was implemented in 1982->  thus the Scirocco II.  Peter
Vack author of the 'VW Buyers guide' (I blame him) referred the the
Scirocco II as an MkII erroneously.  Also A1/MkI are Rabbit & Jetta's
through 1984 there is some 1/2 year stuff not worth expounding on. 
All most forgot all "Cabriolet's" are A1/MkI's .   See "Cabrio" below.
 So if you own a Scirocco its an A1/MkI in either a SI or SII body
style.  Shawn change your shirts ;-).

A2/MkII are Golf's, Jetta's from 1985 thru 1992 and Corrado for its
entire life cycle.

A3/MkIII are Golf, Jetta's beginning in 1993 thru 1997  "Cabrio" note
spelling also fit in here.

A4/MkIV should be appearing ata dealer near you begging w/1998.

Passats have their own generations as well.

ITS NOT AN MKII D%$# IT!!!!!
