How long were they? >anyway, most folks do NOT believe that the bus is only 1 foot longer than >the beetle. unless you put both cars up against a wall, side by side. and >even the vanagon is just 1.5 feet longer. it's really wierd that the rabbit >is so short. Hmmm. I always figured the 2-door and 4-door Rabbits were the same length. Where did the length go? It certainly wasn't in the back seat legroom!
