I assume you meant to say...
>...mainly because the *SCIROCCO* has an 'image problem'; ...

Also, I asked at the Boston Auto Show when the US introduction of the
16V GTI would be available, and they said May or June 1986.  I don't
know (or care much) if this would be a 1986 or a 1987 model.  I hope it
gets here soon so I can get kid of my Omni.  (just put a new clutch in.
ARRRRGGGhhh!  I had to abandon it in Philadelphia and take my parents'
Chevy Celebrity (YUK!) back to Boston)

But seriously, I noticed that your posting originated in Canada so your
dates are probably different and you probably get better cars anyway.
