It's the exact same specs for the Rabbit TDi I believe.

Golf, as long as I can have a harlequin...

How is it a showdown if the specs are all identical? Obviously people would take the A3 because it looks 5 times as good, and just because its an Audi.

[NSXType-R]

Aren't they on the same platform anyway?

[Quiggs]

Yes. .

[NSXType-R]

So what's the difference between it and minor cosmetic stuff?

[6'bore]

How anyone can make sense of that first post anyway is beyond me.

I can't either...

I hate you soo much.

This is meant to be a showdown for style.

I love that Harlequin style Rabbit lol. Can you order those??

[Quiggs]

Not right now. VWoA is considering a small production run for the US only. It would probably be 1500 units or less.

You just bump in to some cars in differant kind of ways and replace whatever you dented with other coloured not dented parts. Or you buy 5 golf's in differount coulours and change some parts.

I think it's ugly.

I missed that last line. I get it now, but at first I was trying to fing the stats for two cars where there is only one set. I like the Audi better myself.

[NSXType-R]

Yeah, it's like you have lots of dings and scratches on one door and couldn't afford to get it in the original color so you replace it with the color of another part- except of course done all over the body.
