Replying to: boaz47 (Dec 04, 2008 3:49 pm) The Fits are pricey. The xDs are pure priced around $15k and the Versa is easily had for $14k or less. The base Versa is much less.   Shoot, I only paid ~$19k for my first house. That was 1974, but still, it's still standing last I checked. (And Zillow says it's worth $165k).

Yeah, but does your house have cruise control? Replies to this message: steve_ (Dec 04, 2008 4:14 pm) imidazol97 (Dec 04, 2008 5:23 pm) snakeweasel (Dec 04, 2008 7:53 pm)

Replying to: tifighter (Jan 16, 2009 4:05 pm) Probably about the size of the original Rabbit. I had to laugh, it's to help VW TRIPLE its US sales in the next 10 years...yeah, right! Replies to this message: guss (Jan 16, 2009 7:57 pm) nippononly (Jan 19, 2009 10:56 pm)

Replying to: texases (Jan 16, 2009 4:25 pm) How many times have we heard VW plans to increase their sales only to end up losing sales.   I like the Polo, hopefully the TDI will make it over here. Replies to this message: nippononly (Jan 19, 2009 10:56 pm)
