Somebody drove a 300 to work. Not allowed!
I never found the VW 5 cylinder engine in the Jetta that bad at all. You should have owned 3 five-pot Audis like I did if you want gruff. The VW was a zingy delight. Of course, there were only about 3 other people who agreed with me. Such is life in the niche lane. Now the RS3 will show everyone in North America what happens when you put a decent cylinder head and turbo on the Jetta 5 cylinder. It eats AMG 45s for breakfast and looks half-decent as well, instead of emulating some squat aberration. http://m.caranddriver.com/reviews/2015-audi-rs3-sportback-first-drive-review
Goldman are crooks there'll be more to this than meets the eye. Some kind of old boy network favor for the tories. All I recall of my past-century experiences with GM are proud, arrogant Archie Bunker coveralls @ the service desk. Though I sounded some shameful, lousy limey faggot needing a good cursing under the breath. I was off the hook cause I'd bought Chev.
Toyota needed another plant in Mexico to build Corollas? I thought one of the plants in the US South did that? Or has Mexico's financial advantages caught up to the PR-friendly US assembly plants?
