[82 Diesel Westy]

Very Well said, so what are the VW / Audi marketing
people sitting around talking about?  It would be nice
to know.  I think bringing the lupo and polo here
would crush the other car manufactures, so the US
Gov't. must have found a way to keep them out because
of emissions or something.

Does anyone have a good answer?  American commute to
work further distances than anyone, last I heard
anyway.  I know I do.
