	Vento means wind, too, in some romance form or another. (Vent in french,
for example).
	You're right about Corrado, but in spanish, "to run" is used in
conjunction with wind: to say it's windy, you say something like "it runs a
lot of wind".
	Jetta is a newish name, and it still uses the wind scheme; as does Passat
and Golf.
	I think the only current models that don't use the wind scheme are the
Cabrio and the Van.
