- i received the december issue of CAR yesterday and on the cover in big font:
- "golf loses its balls". yow!! it was compared to a citroen ZX and a honda
- civic VTi (not available here). the civic won the comparison because it was
- the most fun car, even if the gti had better chassis. i will post more
- details later today.
-
- anyway, the new gti 16v has a 2 liter engine pumping out 150bhp and a much
- flatter torque curve than the previous iteration. i guess that's the reason
- for the delay. i think that for the US, the 8V GTI III will have a very
- short life and will in the future have the 16V unit in it.
