Yeah, well around here (Silicon Valley) I see them everyday. Yesterday I
went to the Stanford Shoping center and had four (including the one I was
driving) in sight at the same time. I also saw a Mulberry GTi-VR6 and yet
another GLX on my way home from there.

This is the reason that I replaced my grille and debadged. Now i can pick
my own car out of a line-up. :-)
