How much is low sulfur diesel going to cost?

The same as regular diesel as far as I know. God I can't wait 1-series diesel, Alfa coming back to the states, possibly with diesel, Hell Honda has a diesel coming, and then the diesel hybrids are right around the corner, 70mpg here I come.

It's not meant to be a multicolored one. The premise is that it's a bunch of black and white rabbits multiplying, and every so often there's grey ones, and some that are a few different colors.

Well I got that idea, like how rabbits have spots too, but they should make that multicolored one, that would be hella tight. Besides, it'd be uber rarezzzzz.

OH SHNAP!

From Waterfest:
"The latest Harlequin model, spawn of a black Rabbit and a white Rabbit also in a recent commercial was on hand, though no word on whether VW will build it."

is it just me or is that thing taller then most minivans?

I think it's just the wierd angle/perspective of that shot.

[DaveInLA]

I must be the only person who doesn't like that commercial. Or maybe I just don't get it.

the rabbits aren't going to be offered with a diesel engine, for this model year. due to new emmissions laws, volkswagens won't be making any deisels for model year 07' they are redesigning there diesels and coming back with them in 08.

the only engine offered in the rabbit as of now, it's a 2.5 inline five esitenally the same as the GTI but different suspension, engine, and drivetrain. volkswagen will be bringing back the golf, i'm unsure as to when, but it will be named the Citi, basically and MK4 golf, with a 2.slow no options and cheap as fuck, like kia cheap.

working at the VW stealership has it's +'s i guess

[LEANE30]

Whats with that multicolor one? They gonna make it, like they did the Harlequin?

YEAH! all my VW friends been askin that same thing! ...what was it with the original Harlequins anyway? what was so special about them? just limited production goofiness or what? :-? tuned motor? ....one of the kids i know works at a VW dealership and their thinkin about getting a couple and switching out panels and running them around the city as part of an advertizing campaign if VW doesn't do a real Harlequin :loco:

[assoutE12]

Well shit i've been wondering this forever, now I know. I always thought that Rabbits looked like older generation Golfs.

the MKI golf was sold as a rabbit in america, but a golf everywhere else. they are doing the same thing again. I need to go test drive a GTI (Word to the wise, don't buy the GTI they have on the lot at Jim Clarke motors in lawrence;) )

The original Harlequin was made in very, very small numbers, around 250-275 produced by VW. 4 were painted stock colors, then dissasembled and reassembled using the random colors. The true color of the car is the bottom frame color that leads to the back window.

Just very rare. Had a rare interior color setup, other misc things that made it unique.

I've seen two.. there's at least one in my little city. are they really that rare? I guess VWs are pretty popular around here..

Although the true numbers aren't known, VW said 264 were made. Its a rare car for those hippies, so I guess you gotta lotta hippies out there Barry Pepper.
