Westmoreland Rabbit (mit madnatory Audi Content)

[William Magliocco]

& what do you mean by that?  <grin>

I bought my first VW product in late 1980, a Rabbit Diesel.  The 1981 models 
were already on the dealer floor.  I specifically told the dealer to find me a 
1980 model "mit Dieselmotor" and I remember saying out loud (at the dealership) 
the 1981 Rabbits were too Americanized for my tastes.

My wife drives a 2006 VW Passat that again I think was way too Americanized.  
Red turn signals on the rear?  No metric speedo markings?  English inscriptions 
on the cruise control lever?

I wonder what this new VW model to be made in Chattanooga will look like...

Mandatory Audi Content:  My 1933 100 is currently off the road due a bad fuel 
pump & bad heater blower motor.  At $3.30/gallon for premium gas & ~22 MPG I 
will stick to driving my 1998 VW Jetta TDI which is giving me around 42 MPG 
average fuel economy.  I would like to fix the 100 when the weather improves so 
I can nurse her to the 200,000 mile point.  Overall, she has served me well.
