Subject:      New Beetle: Automobile Car of the Year!
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Just read the latest issue of Automobile magazine.  They voted the New Beetle
as thier "Car of the Year" and they say it was a landslide victory.  The retro
yet futuristic styling is what attracted them to the NB besides the fact that
from what I hear it is just a really good car and a good value for the money.
Also the new Passat got the sedan of the year.  I love these cars both because
of thier looks and the quality level seems really high.  A new Passat Wagon
with a TDI would probably lure me away from Vanagons (but I don't see this
happening any time soon).
Just thought you folks would like to know that it seems like VW is actually
getting thier act together and making a good product again.  Now if they can
just get the customer service back to where it was in the 60's they would be
THE car company for the next century.
Just my opinion.
