Make mine a Golf VR6, synchro.  Whatever happened to the nasty SuperGolf 
that VW was going to build for the Rally circuit?  I have heard that they 
just weren't profitable for production, especially due to the losses at 
VAG the past few years.  OH, I think it was:
			AWD,  intercooled turbo, monster brakes, 
			more scoops than a countach, etc. etc.
