1. Agreed on Laz's new look. I mentioned there, but probably not enough. I think it improved the looks of the car DRAMATICALLY. But it comes down to personal taste.

2. Agreed with Beth. That is why I hit very few VWs anymore. Besides seeing the same cars at every show, as evidenced by the curiousity questions and the voting at Euro, the general public gets it more than the typical VW person. I still enjoy seeing the VW crowd when I hit those shows, but it is nice to change it up.
