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.
