I bet all that comes out of this is a pickup Touareg. Look at what American's buy now - Ford F150s. I think they need to stick to European influences - but I bet revenue envy will have them producing an SUV/Pickup hybrid in no time... sad. A new corrado would be a great thing. I think they have done all they can do with the GTI and I think they were disappointed that after all the whining by the US market about not getting a powerful GTI with all wheel drive - all the R32s just sat in the lots. So many car enthusiasts are all talk and never actually buy the cars they complain so much about not having. This is why the car companies keep producing Honda Accord copies year after year. People actually buy them. If they produce a new corrado it will be a 'halo effect' vehicle like the TT is for Audi, M3 for BMW and S2000 is for Honda. Expensive, impractical and low volume.

The Japanese seem to get this right. And sell thousands of them every time. Edmunds has an article talking about some new 2008 models VW has on the drawing board. One of the ideas they were discussing was the revival of the "Corrado" which was currently being proposed as a four door sedan. VW won't get it. -Les -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Darner Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 10:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [a2-16v-list] News Item of possible interest (we'll see!) http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000557054223/#comments Ron _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
