Yup, my thoughts exactly.  To quote the Seinfeld show;

Yep, yep. That brings up an interesting situation;
despite depreciation and the initial high cost of a
new car sometimes buying new is a viable alternative
to saving coin and campaigning a twenty year old car
instead. 

I bought new when the baby came along (he's 15 now)
because the (then) expectant wife couldn't be expected
to deal with old car 'peculiarities' on the side of
the road like I came to expect with my K. Ghia and
later Sciroccos. 

Besides having that new car smell for the individual
there is some group dynamic associated with keeping
the brand healthy buy buying their wares. Flip side
is, of course, they need to actually sell something
worth buying. :])

Hah! And what do we get for it? VWoA should have an
invite type BBQ to roll the thing out and of course
who should _get_ them there invites?

See? And again more Corrado than Rocco. Light, Nimble,
Sporty, Economical, Fun, Useful. 

_These_ are words that describe Scirocco Essence. 

The Twin Charger sounds yummy, but anything with an
new improved head and fueling would be great. (Mmmm,
parts cars a few years after model introduction. Heh,
heh.)

Last thought: It needs more Nose.
