All Roccs were made in Germany, right ???

[adam.garside@uk.ibm.com (Adam J Garside)]

I think that quite often when you get a badly put together car it's what I
call a "friday afternoon" car, where everyone at the factory have been down
the pub at lunch and they wanna get off home ASAP. So they stumble about
and throw a couple of cars together. When you think about it, Friday
afternoon is 1/10th of the working week so that means 10% of the cars would
be a bit pony!
Thats my theory anyway.

The doors on my Rabbit are not sagging, and still sound solid when they
close. It has 255,xxx on it and is still sound. I think the US built stuff
gets a bad rap sometimes, but I think is more about the particular car, and
not so much about where it is made. That having been said , I have been in
my share of US built bunnies that felt "soft", but most of them weren't
properly maintained either. Some people say Mexican or Brazilian built cars
and parts are inferior also, but, with some exceptions, who's to say they
are?

> SO is it safe to say that the quality of the US built rabbits are not up
to par with the Germany made Roccos. I know my Scirocco still feels very
solid and it has almost 150k miles on it. The Rabbit Gtis I have been in
never feel as tight to me, but maybe I am nuts.

The mid 80s were not a high point for quality cars in the US though.
