Jetta would be very cool.  But can you imagine a Golf?  I've always loved
Rabbits/Golfs - I've a few and never been disapointed.  Even at slightly
under 120 horsepower/lb-feet torque - they're light enough to really crank
when handled right.  I've seen VR6 Golfs, but can't find specs on them
anywhere.  I wonder how much they cost.

A truly SICK combination would be a Golf with a W8 - I read a rumor in
Autoweek that Golf was testing that combo.  What I would't give to be the
test driver!

Anyone seen the new Buggatti?  1001 HP from a new VW 8-liter W16 engine.
For only $750,000 and a two year wait, you too can have one.  I only want
the engine - stuff it into an A8...
