WANT!
You guys are making the rather large assumption that the cars are built reasonably well. I wouldn't.
You assume that something being built reasonably well is a factor any of us considers with our irrational wants. I submit Biturbos as exhbit A to the opposite.

^What he said. Plus i'd be HIGHLY surprised if a 2009 Golf would require more maintenance in the year 2011 than an early 80s Golf.
We're on GRM. Screw rational. Have you SEEN what i daily drive? 
In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac:
I'm actually considering the POS that many may drive here. And still would question the build quality of the "continuation". Plus the materials.

Meh. It looks better. I think that's all we're caring about.
My Mazda's been totalled twice. I haven't seen a clean MK1 Golf for sale halfway near me since.... never.
They've built the damn thing for 30 years. Gotta get it right sooner or later, yeah?
Think that's weird?
Chrysler sold the designs and tooling for the 2.2L motor to China.
Okay so far right?
Audi sold the designs and tooling for the 4000 to China.
Also not weird, right?
Except that China put their Chrysler 2.2/2.5 into their Audi 4000.
Sort of the opposite of getting peanut butter in your chocolate.....

They grab you in your sleep and replace you with your Chinese copy. Someone you know has probably already been replaced. Your wife? Your neighbor? Your boss? Anyone seem a little off lately? We will all bow to Chairman Mao soon...

That sounds..... AWFUL.
Until you realize that there are now Audi 4000s that can have overdone 1200HP SRT4 swaps and that bit of information just makes me smile.

Chrysler put VW engines in their Omni's and Horizon's, so that's not too far out there.

I'd rather mine 5cylinder 20v turbo flavor.
