Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
the Jetta is an all-new car this year and only has a five cylinder engine available
The question was pretty much why not come out of the gate with a VR6 too? It's a lovely drive, one that made the Jetta feel almost as fun as a Beemer, but for cheaper (and less lovely insides, natch). Now, to match that ride, I'm looking at compact luxury cars. That's no good.
Come to think of it, Robin, I have a couple of staplers that don't work. Maybe I should fly you in to consult.
As someone who wrangles staplers and a boss, I feel justified in saying that 1) staplers are of the devil, even when you insert the staples right side up and 2) many otherwise competent people lose the ability to think sensibly once they are assigned boss responsibilities. It's like the "boss" function overwrites the "common sense" function.
Also, can we finish this thread right quick so I stop being earwormed with "I've Been Through the Desert on a Freak With No Name" EVERY SINGLE DAY? There's only 6900 posts to go! We can do it in an afternoon!

Who knows? Although a lot of car companies seem to introduce a new car with the standard-size engine only, and then add the option of the higher-power engine later.
Maybe they figure they might as well get the car out sooner, and finish up the work for the bigger engine later. Or else they figure that since it's a new design, it will sell well at first, and then they can add other options later to delay the inevitable decline in sales as the design gets longer in the tooth.

Pass it on.

Bastards. Or annoying people, who just definitely lost out on a new care sale.
All. my. flea's love a freak-rider.

I think they're going to come out with a turbo 4 cylinder later this year or so. It'll be a 200hp engine. The Mazda6 might be a nice car, it's supposed to handle very well.

Un, dos, freak, quatro, cinquo, cinquo, flea.
I love the handling of my Jetta. It has 95000 miles now. This is sad making. At the moment we plan on just treating it well as no other cars thrill me.
we've gone to that place beyond silly, haven't we?
