Those were nice, my best friend had one - I drove it a lot! The only problem was, as an American-made VW, it had that awful dashboard and door cards, like they took it right out of an malaise - era Oldsmobile. At least it had real VDO instruments, and Recaro's.

Not an ad for a particular car, but certainly for a movement

I had an '81 Buick Skylark when that came out. It had the 2.8L V6. God that car sucked mechanically. Was really comfy though. I was jealous of the Beretta for a few minutes.

EDIT: Just read the fine print in the ad. I guess that version came with their 4 cylinder. Even better! Was that the Cimarron engine?

I am pretty sure it was a variant of the Quad 4, GM's first 16V 4 cylinder engine (other than the Cosworth Vega).
