The 1999-2002 models had atrocious reliability. Some are still iffy but the Jetta is now average reliability. I know that's little comfort to someone who had to replace 5 transmissions, but I had to say it. I think I may have mentioned this to you recently anyways. :) If this generation TDI proves reliable I may pick up a used one in a few years (when I have the money for it). VW’s are better of late.

Quite the wordster there. Assembly in China is not ok. We need the jobs here not in China. And if they get part of the package they will get all of the package eventually. Off once again to work to pay for delights of the welfare state and unemployment benefits... Ughhh regards!-------Higgins and the Boys Ughhh??? Quite the wordster there.

I wonder if the cooling systems for the battries could be used for the LED's. Cooling the LED's is a big part of the cost. I bet that there will be LED's only on the top trim line. /I just have a problem with the filament /cheers Lots of info there, you do have a talent for research….

The nation be nothing more than turf from which to play "cricket". Per Mexico violating this or that, the country is rife with corruption or it would be something else today, like a more viable place for normal human life. I know those who shop at 5th Ave. . In Mexico you have the "delightful" situation of having the very very wealthy and the poor. Middle class is, well, not much like it is slowly evolving here. So if I wanted to have high tech stuff in relatively safe hands I would NOT look at countries riddled with a mentality of corruption. Kind of like hiring a baby sitter. Hire the one with a cig hanging from her mouth and a crime sheet, or... You missed the point entirely of it not being fair to US workers for having the US worker somehow compete with those who make little in comparison. And we agree about China... . I recall in Monterrey Mexico having breakfast with a US exec who was gloating about the transfer of a heavy equipment factory to Mexico and all the money to be made. His beef? That he had to stay there and nurse maid what he could dig up for managers. The gold on his fat neck, his heavy chain, certainly was dazzling. He picked up the tab. I smiled and walked away nauseous. OH, I was there Laura M for trade of American grain to Mexico. The process of negotiating there was indeed some Dante's Inferno nightmare. Bowed out as the scamsters got too noticeable. So, I am not against trade per se but all for fair trade which is all to scant in this greedy world. Have to run to work to pay for all the splendid joys of the welfare state. Regards!------- Higgins PS: seems that bees are making a comeback.
