Really? A Whitestar in the US?? These were hardly sold outside Germany, in fact I
believe they are Germany only! From what I have learnt they are very popular in
Germany, and are available with the 2,1 gas or the 1,6 TD engine. Also available
as Redstar and Bluestar, you can see what the basic equipment on this one is, on
the list of M-options, under the rear engine section on my web site. It is S 735,
towards the bottom of the list.
