Carl and List,
VW does listen to thier customers (sometimes).  A recent example is the VR6
which I have heard that VW was going to use overseas but had no plans to bring
to the US.  However when the motor was reviewed in one of the big car
magazines a petition was made up to bring the motors to the US.  And now they
are everywhere (and an excellent motor from what I hear).  So there is hope
that a petition would sway the hearts of those at VW.  If someone writes it up
I'll sign it.

PS What about putting a VR6 or TDI as options in our new Millenium Vanagon?
