Re: Da Da Da and my totally cool dealer

["Mark Radelow" <rpcprod@hotmail.com>]

DE stands for Drivers Edition.  It is the newest version of the GTI-VR6.  
You get special color/trim, wheels (not tires though...shitty 
GA's)...lowered suspension.  That's about it.  The 30V V6 is definately 
going into the new Passat (it already is in it in Germany).  The car is 
essentially an Audi with VW skin.
