Subject:Re: that '89 Bluestar/Wolfsburg on ebay sold for $6100

Doug,

I have a Red/White/Bluestar Brochure. It's all about marketing. We discussed
this years before on the list. In the US, the Wolfsburg Edition was created to
help boost lagging late (in the model year) sales. Perhaps this is the same
thing that was done in Europe as well. I can only assume that the Wolfsfburg
name does not carry the same cachet as Hannover in Germany. Or maybe the
Hannover name just did not appeal to VW of USA Marketing folks.

Imagine telling someone: "Hannover your van." They might think you were a
carjacker. ASTOUNDing aiNET?
