"We didn’t pull it out of a hat.
The Rabbit was designed by Giugiaro of Italy.
And engineered by VW to be a highly
advanced yet practical car with a water-cooled,
transverse-mounted overhead-cam engine. Front
wheel drive. 4-speed, synchromesh transmission.
Front disc brakes. Rack and pinion steering.
A deep, hatchback type storage area. Spacious
interior comfort. And the ability to squeeze an
amazing 35-41 miles from a gallon of gas on the
highway and 24-25 mpg. in the city, according to
the latest EPA tests.
The VW Rabbit. A part of the future
you don’t have to look forward to."
