VW did some odd things in the last years, as well as all the previous
years I'd say.

I have seen a bunch of 90 Syncros  with power everything but without
front seat armrests and without the padded dash. It is hard to accept
that this was much of a cost savings to them unless they had a bunch of
that stuff left in Graz. I suspect it was a case of using up what they
had left at the end of production but who knows.
