Another factor in our favor: the depressed (and falling) value of the euro
vs. the dollar.  This makes every dollar of profit brought home from the
US that much more valuable and important to the parent company.  The fact
that other enthusiast-oriented models are beginning to appear (upcoming
supercharged Mini Cooper, Civic Si, etc.) might eventually force VW to
wise up and play in this space.  Shit, they've got all the damn parts
they need right on the shelf.. all they need to do is make the decision
to play..
