It's the 30th Anniversary Edition, and it's only sold in Europe. They upped the 2.0T in that model to 230hp-- one extra hp for every year, get it?

For a grand or a few more you can get a stripped down Bugatti Veyron. It's true. The Mazdaspeed 3 has barely anymore performance with its extra ponies.

Now if they only gave $5 to charity and $5 to Bono then this car might actually sell.

The GTI is sweet. It deserves respect.

I like the Rabbit/GTI a lot, but oddly, I don't really like the Jetta. Maybe it's the grille- I think it makes it look like a Chrysler, especially next to the more classically good-looking Rabbit. The big grille looks good on Audi's cars, but when you dip it in chrome paint and put a big "VW" on the top, the beauty fades.
