Re: Next level past Mk1 'S' = GTX?
Something I've noticed about VW owners v. other small car owners is
usually a LACK of badging unless it came with the car, i.e.; GTI, GLI. Maybe
the other small car owners are plastering their dreams on the car for the
world to see, or they're just delusional thinking the world is impressed by a
Type R Hyundai, or Mugen Powered Neon. It's like when kids were putting
TURBO stickers on whatever they drove.."hey, check out the turbo chevette!"...
If you build a car to spec (GTI, Type R, etc.) or better, badge on 'cause
you can back it up. I think the only place where people are more
rabid/vehement about badging is in the muscle car world, these guys can get
ugly about it.

Remember the days of the ///M 318i's, LOL..... and now all the
Civics/Accords (in the US) with the Type R badges. >>
