	True.  However, for most of us on the List I cant see anyone
buying the FWD 180hp version.  I think most of us will hold out for the
180 or 225 hp Quattro versions of the TT.  Then I dont think the Golf can
even compare because the TT will have the Unfair Advantage. :-)
	But if you did want a FWD 180hp tt, well, you cant get the golf
without a roof. :-)

	My Red 4kq with 15" wheels and a Borla exhaust attracts plenty of
attention.  SOmetimes I like my Girlfriends "just as fast" Stock looking
87' 4kq though for that same reason.  Boy, what I wouldn't give for a 5ktq
Wagon.  Or maybe an 200hp Vanagon Westfalia Synchro :-)   My friend got
passed by a Vanagon with a trailer the other day on the Freeway going up 
hill at 75mph.  That means the Vanagon was doing 80.  Hmmmm, I dont think
they can do 80 on their own not to mention up-hill without a trailer???  I
think there was something different under the hood...errr...trunk...
	Anyone ever seen the uhhh who owns it,   Auto Bahn or something.
ANyhow they have a 300hp 930 turbo in thier Tow Vehicle Vanagon. :-)
Sounds like fun!!!   Talk about a Stealth Car for trips.
