The Gti was deserving of the name. They were like Scrappy-Doo on wheels.

Any VW. Something that was meant to be the car for the people that has turned into a £35k diesel hatch or £40k sport hatch, then they did the phaeton etc etc.
I've got nothing against VW but if there was a British car company called 'the people's car' who were 10% dearer than ford/vauxhall etc then it would be ironic.
So I bought a pretentious people's car instead.

Honda Legend is certainly not a legend?
NSX based engine and a proper gear box would have made it legendary but Honda wanted to compete with Lex-arse. Bloody handle well for a big car though but it's never in the right gear out of a corner and you have to wait for it to kick down. Rubbish. ![rolleyes](/inc/images/rolleyes.gif)

Impreza, every time I see one (usually covered in rally stickers, making loads of noise and driven by a moronic, knuckle-dragging 'geezer'), I'm thoroughly un-imprezed.
The image problems disappeared for me the first time I experienced a full-bore launch in one running about 350bhp. I WAS imprezzed.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
