This morning, I saw:   1. A Plymouth Barracuda   2. An '87 LeBaron coupe- one of the rare "Maserrati" editions.   3. This one isn't unusual- a Prius. What is unusual is how popular they are here in LA. I have seen hundreds- 2 in the last 24 hours alone!   4. A natural gas powered Ford Taurus.   5. An electric RAV4 used to park on the street accross from my office, but it doesn't park there any more.

My neighbor has a Prius, so I see one every day! But, that's the only one I've actually seen on the road.

Just saw a "new" VW Bora on a dealer lot in Wellesley MA.   ?

That's crazy talk! I once saw a VW "Bora" and asked the driver if he was German, and he was not - he said he removed JETTA and bought a BORA decal from a German website for a few bucks and tacked it on there.   I think if I owned a Jetta i would do that.

It was a neraly new car, probably a program car. Who knows? (Actually, the dealership probably knows, but I didn't have time to ask.)

In any event if it were a real Bora, I'd want it because it would be from Germany and not Mexico!
#77 of 17968 Well, by alfox Aug 08, 2002 (12:00 pm)
I did look at the VIN, and it started WVW, so who knows?

Then it was a real German car! I think TDI's are still made in Europe though even if the are "Jettas".
#79 of 17968 You know, by alfox Aug 08, 2002 (12:05 pm)
I forgot to look to see if it was a TDI!

Well it would say on the other side of the trunk, My favorite engine in the whole world is the 1.9 TDI!
