Ironic how VW was one of the biggest chunks of Porsche for so long while staying conservative, now they want to play.

True dat.....now the real question is how much this type of move will cut into their Audi/Porsche business??? Something to ponder.

All I can say is eww. I dont like it at alll. To me it looks like a really confusing bettle mixed with a wannabe SC430 in the back. Sorry but its just too ugly for me.

negative on getting together... if you never see me then you can't say who i was.
i'll call you and say "ray's pizza" then you have 15 minutes to go the phone booth at the corner of the post office...... i'll give you instructions from there.
