--------------Larry's excellent summary of models snipped here--------

My only correction would be the on the Corrado engine options. The G60 could
be had through '91, and the VR6 through '94. I'd have to differ on the G60
durability also, seen *many* expire in the 80-130k range. Owners often
prefer a used charger to the 2300$ VOA wants. Really a stopgap engine to
hold off the naysayers until the VR6 arrived.
