In regard to Porsche cleaning up its aircooled engine...it did it by making it partially water-cooled...the heads on the 911 are watercooled....so the engine isn't entirely aircooled anymore... I suppose VW could have put in a wasserboxer in the bug..like it did with the Vanagon, but the design of the bug, in terms of the market place, is so out of date. Ric
