George, I agree that this is the only way to buy a 4 door GTI, but this IS NOT
a GTI.  The GTI is inherently a GTI, a 2 door car.  My real point of replying
anyway is that there are other differences between a GTI and a Golf, like 4
wheel disc brakes, ABS and a slightly better suspension.  That's the stuff
that makes a real GTI, not just how it looks.
