Congrats on keeping the GTI relevant, VW. It's not every 24-year-old cubicle dweller who can brag about having a paddle-shifted Guigiaro-influenced Pirelli 40-series-shod road-going masterpiece in at "his" mechanic so often.
But now that you've forced fans of tasteful interiors to buy $5k of crap to get cow hides & pleather, do you think you could tone-down that whole Interlagos/Jacky/Tartan Thing for those of us who refuse to dine on your options pork?
We know: you dour, practical Germans have a manic-depressive wild side. You like lederhosen, cuckoo clocks, Hasselhoff, and plaid seats.
Even S-Class sedans can be seen rockin' the kilt-skin if you walk around Berlin, peeking in parked cars.
But in the U.S.-of-A. we feel silly wearing lederhosen. Silly watching Hasselhoff. Silly sitting in plaid seats. Cuckoo clocks annoy the hell out of us.
Maybe we simply haven't embraced our watered-down recessive Teutonic automotive interior decorating urges.
In the meantime do you think you could help ease us into the party with maybe a charcoal on black treatment?

The only way we'll let Hasselhoff into our lives in this country is at our leisure and for free, preferably while he's on the floor gettin' it on with a hamburger. We just kinda feel the same way about plaid.
I am The Car Czar, and I'm here to help.
