The VW battery-powered Golf Blue-e-motion looks interesting, but with a driving range of 90 miles per full charge, its not ready for prime time, and wouldn't meet my needs at all. VW's first electric car will be the E-up, scheduled for release in 2013. I'm still enjoying my VW Jetta Wagon TDI, which is only now beginning to break in. I put a skid plate on her, so I could drive her on the ranch, and she did pretty well for a vehicle with 15" tires over rough terrain. I've got the ranch up for sale now, though, so I may buy another VW Jetta/Golf TDI Wagon TDI when it sell. There's something about the diesel that really appeals to me; good gas mileage and green technology aside. http://www.evolutionimport.com/Evolution_Atlas_Skid_Plate_With_Oil_Drain_Hole_For_p/a-00003-002.htm or http://tinyurl.com/yeymuw2 Regards, LelandJ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
