Hi all,

Just weighing in on this..

I would buy a new VW, but it would pain me as VWOA sucks ass. I like VW,
but the management in this country wins a booby prize for alienating
enthusiasts with their lawyers (boo hiss.) i Find it hard to support a
company that has strayed so far from the philosophies that it once had.

Having said that, about the only new VW i'd buy would be a Jetta TDI
wagon, it'd be super handy for commuting & road trips. They dont make
anything new that is sporty. Maybe a TT (audi but same co.) but its too
pricey for what you get. For sporty Veedubs, pretty much anything newer
than a2 is getting too bloated for my tastes. If they introduced some of
the smaler models here with big engines i'd really think about it though,
Like a polo or ?? also 4-motion in a smaller car would get me interested.

The dodge folks have recently announced a Neon that comes gutted a bit,
and with a big turbo & big rims, i'd probably buy that & race it in rally
production GT or gp5 maybe :)

take care,

Steve
