I finally visited my friendly neighbourhood VW dealer yesterday; here
are some previously-unpublished things I noted:

Golf:
-----	- One model only; no L, LS or GL
	- Six colours: white, dark red, beige, gold, silver & blue metallic
	- 175/70SR13s (not 155SR13s) on all gas models
	- Same headlights as last year, except sealed-beam halogen
	- 98% equivalent to European models
	- GTI will likely have aero-type Pirelli wheels (flat mags with
	  Pirelli 'P'-shape holes around the edge)
	- All models have the 90 hp '84 GTI engine (except diesel)
	- Compression ratio up from 8.5 (84 GTI) to 9.0

Jetta:
------	- 3 models: base, GL, and Carat
	- Carat is loaded to the gills
	- VERY similar to the Golf in interior design, but more options
	- Carat will have the new GTI engine, others the 90 hp 

Prices:
-------	- Golf		$ 8495
	- Jetta		$ 9495
	- Jetta GL	$10495 (approx)
	- Jetta Carat	$15000 (approx)
	- GTI		$11495

*** WARNING: PRICES ARE IN HOSERBUCKS --- TO CONVERT TO U.S. PRICES MULTIPLY
*** BY 0.75

The Rabbit Convertible is now called the Golf Cabriolet; no changes
there or with Scirocco (except that the Scirocco B-pillar is blacked
out).
