Yeah, the MK1 squares were only available on the entry
level models for a reason ;-)

In the USA, if you go into your average PEP Boys or
similar stores, you'll find many (cheesy) items marked
as "Euro". Bottom line (I guess) is that it sells here
. . .

Odd that Japanese cars strive for a "Euro" look . . .
(you'd think they'd be trying for an "Asian" look)

I simply want my car to look more the way it was
intended to by the designer - that's my take. The cars
I love happened to be designed and built in Germany
(euro) . . .
