I just spoke to my VW dealer about purchasing a 2007 Rabbit. The one I wanted couldn't be found in Canada so he tried to order one from the factory. Sorry, no more are being built... the allotted amount has been accounted for this year. This even suprised him!! My options are to see whats available on the lots across Canada (yeah right, try finding one!) or wait for the 2008 model which he said he can take orders for. Apparently the new 2008 is the same car (slightly different option configurations) with the engine tweaked to 170 HP! I guess I'm waiting.

And also given the so so milage with the 2.5, they are suppossed to do away with it as well, which i guess would make more sense than tuning it more powerful, even though i wouldn't mind if the mileage stayed the same. I read that the change is more than just options, but in the way the car looks too, suppossed to more sporty. Was this just what he told you or did you read it somewhere? Feedback appreciated!

Replying to: jwrana (Mar 07, 2007 10:13 am) I wonder if he accidentally just read you the torque numbers though; its 170 exactly. Dealer guys make mistakes like this all the time it seems. At any rate, let us know what he says!!!
