I think you're right - just a marketing gimick, possibly even added after they left the 
factory by the dealer or VWoA / VWC. The bicycle one was the Jetta Trek, with a 
Trek mountain bike and racks, a 2nd matching bike was an option I think. I *think* 
the K2 was first, then the Trek. And I'm not sure the Trek was in a Golf, but the K2 
definitely was both Golf & Jetta. (I assume the K2 included K2 skis & ski bag and/or 
rack, but I never looked at these.) I did look at the Treks when they were out.
