'weekender' version yet-to-be-announced. <<

From what I hear the table, etc. in the Dodge is pretty cheesy. I think it
would disappoint us MV/Carat owners.

>> The nicely-equipped one that I looked at was $32K. <<

Surprisingly enough my local dealer has about 5 and 2 are in the mid
twenties in price. That's pretty surprising for VW to actually have the
reasonably priced lower trim levels in stock. Maybe since less people are
using their house as a MAC machine they'll go for fewer DVD players, less
leather, etc.
