I'll tell you what.....after driving that 90 Passat loaner car the 
other week, I'm tempted to pick one up.  I've never driven a car that 
was meant to be a luxury car that handled the way that did.  I was 
extremely impressed and that car showed me the diversity in VW's 
engineering.  

I figure if things keep going the way they have with the Rocco, I'll 
need a second car as a backup, and a Passat would be just great in my 
mind.  In fact, it would be better for me as my primary car for work. 
I could use that huge trunk and back seat to haul all theose 'puter 
parts around :)  Plus the idea of riding in luxury has it's appeal :)

It's just that it so hard to give up driving the Rocco day in, day 
out.  It's such a gas!!!!  But the Passat wouldn't be much less fun.  
I need to drive a manual trans one though.......that auto trans 
sucked in a big way!  It was hard to gauge the 16V's power with that 
power-sucker tranny !!  It was nice in the traffic jams tho :)
