Re[2]: VW; drying up?

["Paul Krucke" <pkrucke@logistics.calibersys.com>]

     YES!!! Thank you!  That is exactly what they need to do.  VW need's an 
     entry level car around $9000.00 (out-the-door) to take on the Neon's, 
     Civics, Fiesta's, Metro's, Hyundai's, etc......
     
     If VW is listening ----Remember the original Beetle and Rabbit?
     And Volk's as in ALL people's car, not mid-middle class people making 
     >$36,000 a year.  Add the Polo to the American line-up.
     
     The perfect VWoA in my opinion;
     
        Polo
        Beetle (Concept 1)
        Golf GTI,TDI
        Jetta GT,GLS,GLX,TDI   
                (drop the GL model's)
        Passat (A4) 1.8T, TDI, GLX, Quattro
        New Scirocco/Corrado (aka Audi A3)
        EuroVan on a mini-van scale to complete w/Chrysler
        A 4x4 sport utility or Truck of sorts.

      -Pricing starting around $7000 for a base Polo, $10,000 Starting on the 
new Beetle, 13~14k for GTI/Jetta's on Up.

If pricing structure is preventing VW from being competativ in the USA and 
North America, the VW should add a lower priced model like the Seat 
derrived POLO...The Polo is about the size of a Rabbit and given the 2.0L 
motor would be a good performer too.
     
Getting young people in the show room and selling the an excellent product 
could bring some brand loyalty or at least some market share...
