Message-ID: <2089@ihnss.UUCP> Date: Mon, 4-Jun-84 11:48:34 EDT Article-I.D.: ihnss.2089 Posted: Mon Jun 4 11:48:34 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 6-Jun-84 01:04:44 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 26 We have a rabbit and have been quite happy with it, and were strongly considering a second one as a replacement for our other car. A dealer recently told us that this was the last model year for the rabbit (so why not order now!), which we already knew, but did supply some hints as to what she had heard about the replacement. She said it was going to be the Golf something-or-other, and be a little larger than the rabbit (4" longer and 6" wider, or some such), and more rounded. (She also claimed it got much better gas mileage). I have seen recent golf models (I was in europe 2 weeks ago), and couldn't honestly tell the difference from an american rabbit without side by side comparison, but I don't know if the new rabbit is just an import of the current Golf. Does anybody else have more information about this car? Is it essentially the same innards with a different body? Just curious to know if I should be holding out. If anybody supplies any information of general interest, I will post a summary to the net. -- Warren Montgomery ihnss!warren IH x2494
