2007 Volkswagen Rabbit? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

ha, originally it was the rabbit then they changed it to golf now certainly because of the terrible ailment of nostalgia in the us we have returned to calling it rabbit

I think if they wanted to change the name back to rabbit they should have made a car much more like Yaris

small, reliable, affordable, fun to drive and peppy, even a little squirrly that is what rabbit was and now that is what Yaris is

Which sounds cooler...

-Hi, I have a Yaris
-Oh, nice car!

or

-Hi, I have a Rabbit
-Oh how cute, can I pet it?

Sorry about that, just semi-related mini-rant

lmao

why did I just get the image of a very manly crossdresser saying "Oh how cute, can I pet it?"

My friend just got the 2007 GTI and that thing is amazing. He hits the gas and you feel your head jurk back to the head rest. And I drive my girls 2006 VW jetta 2.5 and that thing is alot faster than the yaris and the price difference isnt much. Depends what your looking for fuel economy or speed.

But also taken from Wikipedia.org this may change your mind about the Rabbit:

"The Golf 5 has proven expensive to build - largely due to its uncommonly long 50-hour build time. According to multiple reports in the European press, its replacement is thus likely to be rolled out in 2008, a good two years earlier than originally scheduled. This means that the production run of the U.S. version of the Mark 5, introduced only in 2006 two years after its world debut - is likely to have an uncommonly short production run."
