>would not assume so. Only Chuck seems to be hung up on this. Who is

Then why are all you nuts touting .85 skidpad figures,
fantastic hp/weight claims,
great handling,
"sporty interiors", (two colors at once )
pirelli p6 tires (real crap),
5 speed gearboxes,
on,and on , and on, and on, and on, and on, and on , and on ,and on ..........

Is the only thing a real sport car has over GTI's is the lack of rear seats?

Beat by a GTI ? , yes I admit it, I was passed by a GTI  while I was
jogging. How embarrassing.

OK, I guess I dont know what it is all about. You see I dont think I
would ask such a leading question on the net about VW's unless I already
knew the answer. My impression (from fanatics) was that the wolf (or fox) on the
wheel was an AUDI part. It has nothing to do with WOLFSBURG,Germany.
A few fanatics have told me that vw used some AUDI parts on their cars.
And for your information most of (not all) vw's for the US are made in 
Westmorland Pa.

where have I heard this b4.
"you do not even know what the hell it is all about, is beyond me. BIG DEAL!"
