Thats one thing that i'd say is another of my wish list items, most car
companies update their cars almost every other year (at least today), and i
mean this from a styling point of view.  Besides a few minor changes, in
85-85 or something, and then with the 16v, nothing changed, at all.  It
would have been nice if they had updated the dash, or done something a
little different, new grille, new bumpers (like they did with the golf and
jetta).  I always wonder if they had some sort of plan to update the car
with "big" bumpers or something before it died.

Like i said above, thats what i'm complaining about, it wouldn't have to be
dated if they had bothered to update it.  I find the MK2 golf dash doesn't
look dated at all, and it only came out 2 years later.  I don't dislike the
dash at all, i think its really nice, but just looks a little older than it
should i think.

Um, if he had a 16v he probably wouldn't be complaining, but he doesn't
(probably because in the UK they are realllllly rare).  A 16v and an 8v are
not the same car, so shouldn't be compared in the same way.

I won't ask about the two girls ;)

        end debate mode.
