x I have a 1983 Scirocco which has 2 wipers -- one in the back and one on the winshield. I have noticed that the 1984 Scirocco has two wipers (as do most cars) on the winshield. Personally I liked the one wiper in front -- it worked fine and was unique. Has anyone read or does anyone know why Volkswagen might have switched to two wipers? By the way, does anyone know for which model year the 16 valve 140 hp Scirocco is aimed? I have heard 1985. --Jim Dempsey-- jjd@BBN-UNIX.ARPA ..!decvax!bbncca!jjd

For that matter, does anybody know if the 16 valve engine will be available
1) Stateside and 2) in the Rabbit (or Golf, if rumors that the Rabbit name
will be dropped in favor of Golf stateside are true) GTI as well?
Likes Q-ships and cars which can hold 4 people and/or lotsa stuff,

I always thought cars that only had one in front got around the law by putting one on the back. ( 1 + 1 = 2 ). Maybe they're getting tighter on the interpretation?
