     Ever noticed how similar the Dodge/Plymouth Omni/Horizon look to the
A1 Golf (nee Rabbit)?  That's because the Chrysler is based on the Golf.
I believe their 2.2 engine is a bored out 1.6 VW engine.

     This wasn't uncommon in the cauught-with-their pants down era.  Ford
was lucky to be able to import the Escort from Ford Europe (they called
it the "World Car") and GM quickly borrowed a design from Daewoo in Korea
to build the Chevette.

     Is that as amazingly contridictory as it sounds?
