Fox GLI?

[Danton J.A. Cardoso]

Damnit Mark, you beat me to it... This is a home-brewed concoction.  Check
out the supposed European-spec'd Rabbit/Golf on fleabay.  It's the orange
one.

I suspect badge-engineering is to blame for this particular GLI.  I'm 
guilty of this myself.

I owned a Volkswagen Fox when they first came out in 1987.  In fact, 
that was the last "new" car I bought. ($6,010 including tax & delivery)  
I immediately added the "GT" letters from the Golf GT of the same model 
year.
