By the way: if more people could suppress their bias towards japanese cars,
they would venture up to their local Volkswagen dealers and check out the new
Golfs and Jettas. They are both entirely redesigned, offering more room, better
handling smoother ride, etc. The Golf is made in the US of A, and is identical
to it's german namesake. The Jetta, which looks very sharp, is made in Germany.
In comparison to almost all japanese cars, VWs have freely revving engines
(with fuel injection, by the way), and have struck an admirable balance between
handling and ride.
Another plus: while a lot of japanese car dealers seem to be magnanamous by
only charging a few percent above list, VW dealers charge below list. A friend
of mine just purchased a Golf with almost all options except automatic and air,
and pays $8900. Do not forget that the Golf is probably going to be around for
a few years, instead of being replaced by a new japanese can two three years.
