Specific examples please? :D

Like what from the Boxster has "VW" written all over it

Hehe, I will reply to this later this evening - leaving work now. But that includes parts in the legendary 959 supercar, and the modern 911 twin turbo. :D

in Europe, the Passat (and VW in general) has a solid reputation of being reliable
what's up with all the horror stories in the US???

And Porsche was one of the best :D

I'm still holding out for a hopeful TDi passat, or even more wishful, TDi A4.

When I was in Ireland the TDi variant was the most common Passat and A4 there.

If you can wait until the late summer/early fall, you'll get your wish.

The 2004 Passat will be available with 2.0L TDI engine producing 138hp/236lb.ft. (pulled those numbers from memory, might not be exactly right)
