that is a good point....... easier to maintain so to speak.......

i agree to the original part of the post. i seen this car befor near me and it confussed the hell out of me whether its been made like that..... i just thought the owner did a really dodgy paint job.... personally im not fond of them and would never been seen in one.

it deffinately gets u noticed. i dont like them and laugh when i see them. aint seen them for years now tho.

personally i think id rather run down the street naked then drive one of these. it'll get me noticed and arrested. save the embarrisment of driving it day in day out......

but seriously.......... WHAT WERE VW THINKING?????

Harlequins are smmetrical!

Anyways, i hate them as standard but they are usually all tatty, not very well kept examples!

The Harlequin Golf that ollie mentioned is simply awesome though!!! I saw it a while back and it really does look good! Hasanyone got a link to it??
