You do know how owned the majority of VW until very recently right?

It's not much to be proud of anyways.

Ye gods. It looks like a monster truck on a budget.

It is too bad that this most unique and daring American car had it's legs pulled out from under it. OTOH, it was the first successful American compact and spawned a whole class of Detroit iron - pony cars which begot muscle cars whose legacy lives on today. Heck, why not a Corvair II?

As far as Vegas go, they made too good a copy - somehow those things rusted even faster than the originals. :-)

I think you're right about this. Boy, Chrysler sure did milk that K-car drive train for all it was worth, didn't they?
