- whaddya mean no traction control? all vr6 powered vws will have abs
- *and* traction control. it will also be made in mexico, with engines
- shipped from germany. they will keep it under $20K though and for
- proof look at the passat vr6.. just slightly over 20.

- jetta vr6, manufacturer's figures: 0-62 7.8 secs, max: 140 mph.

- "for most, the car will be a Q car with rather too much of the Q
- factor. that said, the vr6 vento is no turkey. it actually has better
