I just saw a VW Golf GTD, those were never sold in the states right? Maybe it was from Mexico but pretty sure it had CA plates.

I had a V70R for 4 years. Wanted it with a stick but wife said no. That is why it ultimately was sold. It became "my car" and I did not want it with a slushie as a DD. Got the E91 328iT instead.

I remember you were also not happy with the low-hanging bodywork during the Northeast winters.

Correct! It also had the turning circle of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier thanks to the bigger engine and AWD intruding into the wheel well. It also had a smaller gas tank.

It's not often that you see a 2nd gen Saab 9-5.
Did you know they could be had with a manual? https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rJJZxoMz/2011-saab-9-5 Per the link cited by Cars & Bids, there were only 335 Arctic White cars imported, of which only 9 were manuals.
