Very good question. I mean, even here in Yoorp, your typical coffeemaker/car
shaver/dashboard fan/radar detector/phone charger/vacuum
cleaner/cooler/breakdown light comes with a cigarette lighter plug, not with
the silver thingy. Yet we get the silver socket on our Westies too. At
least, my '84 had it. The '90 doesn't anymore. Maybe VW mistakenly believes
that these sockets are useful to North Americans?

Puzzled,
