if they took off the Jetta badge, they might also have taken off the TDI. I'm sure I would have noticed, come to think of it, since I was on the lot looking for TDI's.

the LaForza is an Italian made SUV about the size of an Explorer utilizing the Ford 302/5.0 V8. It's been around for a while but I don't believe it's imported any longer. There's no connection with Fiat that I know of.   Boras and Jettas are identical in appearance except possibly for minor trim items. I'm not sure if our TDIs are German-made, they probably are. "WVW" definitley means a German car

...I'm pretty sure they were only imported here for a very few years (maybe like 1989-93, perhaps even fewer)? This, of course, was before 'everyone' was making SUVs, or luxury SUVs.
#84 of 17984 Of course by maltb Aug 08, 2002 (2:14 pm)
being that it's an SUV, it would never be worthy of speeds over 80.

"Does anyone know the details of what is in a Laforza? What kind of engine? are they related to Fiat?"   I recall hearing that LaForza was built by a now defunct company that was owned by Lamborghini. Of course, that is just me hearing...so I cant claim truth.

The Prius is popular in Ann Arbor.

Strangely enough, I hardly ever see Priuses (is that Prii, like Pry-eye) here in Shuhkawgo, but I do see Insights, though not too frequently. I think most people are more concerned with saving $ 'on the front end' than in gas, because I do see lots and lots of Corollas, Civics, and quite a few Echos.

Good to see you back.   I saw an Avanti II yesterday. In good condition and actually being driven as an everyday car.
