I can't agree more, their prices are outrageously high, they wanted
$150.00 for used teardrop(16v) wheels, when you can get new one for about
$80., and that is just one example.

And Kris that emblem means that your Rocco was made at VW's Karmann
plant, which is where they made all of VW's convertibles (Bugs, Ghias, &
Rabbits), as well as all of the Corrados I believe.
