VW @ NYC Auto Show 07
This past Saturday, I went to the New York City 2007 Auto Show. In a recent blog posting, I ranted about Volkswagen’s lack of new concepts. While I do still believe they need to introduce some new concepts to the market, I feel that the remake of the Rabbit has its purpose. Since the beginning, the purpose of the Beetle was to be the economical car for the masses (and word domination). I believe the release of the Rabbit has returned back to that objective. It is affordable in a time when most cars start with a base price of $30,000. The sticker price for the Rabbit is around 15k, which means that
the younger generation can still drive sporty affordable cars. I can’t wait to see what they do with them at the next local VW show. I will not dive into the specs because aftermarket is king in the watercooled community anyways.
Unfortunately, but I feel OK by saying the best of show in my book was the Audi R8. If it was not in the Volkswagen family of auto makers, I might have kept it to myself. 
. I am saving my pennies starting from now. Hopefully I will be able to afford a completely restored R8 when I am in my old age. The car is a machine, but for that kind of gear, you have to be ready to sell your body parts to obtain.
