The VW Rabbit is back!!!

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

2.5L
150hp
170ft/tq
3000lb
2dr($15k) or 4dr($17k)
5spd manual or 6spd auto
22mpg city 30mpg highway
looks pretty damn good too

now some places are saying the rabbit just replaces the golf while others say the rabbit is just a smller golf, who knows.

I saw the commercial last night...pretty cool. Almost made me want to go out and buy one.

[HILDE]

yeah vw rabbit. We still have one sitting here(rabbit gti 83)....Nice to see everyday on flat tires. lol

20mpg in the city and 30mpg on the highway? My Maxima gets close to that. They should have made this a gas sipper car and then I would consider buying it.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

your maxima gets 26-27 max., city, mauybe 18. this is a 2.5L so it's not like it's a small engine.

We got a couple at my dealership. They run the same 2.5L as the jetta. i've seen them range from 15k-20k with just silly options like leather,wheels and sunroof. The clutch feel on these new VW's aren't the best at all tho.

I drove a couple and didn't think too much of them. Just an average car, with an average price.

The rabbit is the golf's replacement. It looks just like a GTI, like how the last gen golf/gti resembles each other. The golf has been killed for the rabbit. I honestly don't like it too much.

personally, i like the rabbit better than the gti...

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

i'm waiting for the new r32(r36) It's still only 240hp(most likely will be 280+with the bigger motor) but it's much nicer in and out than the evo or the sti.

Seems like another sub-compact to me. With toyata, honda, and nissa, bringing heirs it makes sence

If i see any of you in VW rabbit or golf i will punch you in the face and take away your man card, those cars are for women.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

no, the Cabrio was for women.

Does it run ? I might be interested in it... got any pictures ? I always liked the original GTi, everything else after that was kinda heavy, underpowered... and overpriced.

:eyes: you sound like members of another board I visit

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

my grandpa had a 84, he bought one after I was born. Red and a manual. .

i feel the exact same way. these new ones are crap.

in the commercial they must have had either plastic tires or lots of torque, spinning the tires in traffic like that o0o0o
