Re: what we don't like on our Sciroccos

["Mike" <lerb@redrose.net>]

BUT Owen this is exactly why I like my car the most!!!! I can goto a
junkyard and say gimme a grill for a 85 scirocco and they have 7 years to
choose from...I like that VW sticks with things across a
platform....attempts to keep prices down.....could you imagine if they had
to have three/four specialty parts just sitting in partshouses for our cars
just because some fool thought it would be nice to change a little peice
here and there?
