Skodas used to be crappy cars, but ever since VW bought them, they're
fine cars.
Hell, I'd pick a Skoda Superb over a Chevy Malibu or Ford Fusion any
day of the week give the chance.
VW sell Skoda Superbs in the US because it would harm Passat Sales. VW
also doesn't make Passat Convertibles because it would hurt A4
Convertible Sales, although the EOS does the same to a smaller degree.
If they sold Skoda Superbs in the US, they'd sell like hotcakes.
Even these last generation Skoda Superbs are beautiful family cars to
me.

You're trying to polish a turd. Corvette people don't like turds,
polished or not.

Enjoy your VW.

Still just another volkswagon. You are obviously laboring under a severe
information deficit, go look up Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette, and find
out why you are held in such disdain.

The Volkswagen GTI W12 Twin Turbo is a legit MID-ENGINE SUPERCAR.
The W12 Engine was actually originally designed for the VW 12 Nardo
Supercar Concept that was made to destroy Enzos on the track.

Front Engine Cars like the Corvettes are mere PRETENDERS, real Super-
Cars have MID-ENGINE SETUP. Why settle for a lowly front engine car
when you can get a Mid-Engine Supercar for less money?
Here are some images that what kind of beast the W12 in the GTI really
is.

Why would anyone settle for a Front Engine car with understeer like
the Corvette SS whent they can get a Mid-Engine Exotic like the
Volkswagen GTI W12 Twin Turbo with Supercar manners on the track?

Yep, definitely gay! You really are just another loser wannabe. Go back
to school and learn something about the real engineering behind good cars.

If I am not mistaken the Passat is made by Audi. So if you want to be
technical you are talking about an Audi that you think is so great,
not a VW.

Your one off discussions are silly also. There are plenty of Corvette
one off with turbos.

We had a 72 Polara in the family. It was spec'ed out by CHP to go a
minimum of 140 mph. I was not so interested in driving that 5,000
pound car 140. It got up to 120 pretty fast though. OK, not as fast as
a lot of the factory race cars you can buy but it was 5,000
pounds.Something that has the potential to go fast does not mean that
you want to drive it fast on anything but a straight road. I am not
ignorant enough to suggest that one car is superiour to another. That
is oft times as silly as saying my methane smells better than you
methane.

Fun troll, sort of.

Obviously you don't have a clue about design. The engine being set
BETWEEN the front and rear wheels defines mid-engine. There are forward
mounted and rear mounted mid-engines. Now go away as you are the
"pretender". You may continue your education on your own. Good-day.

It's just crazy to even start compare NON-PRODUCTION cars to
production cars.
What was the Callaway Sledgehammer's Production run?
5000? 1000?, 50?
Actually in its own category, the Sledgehammer Corvette is very slow,
even electric cars in the NON-Production category are faster
http://www.autobloggreen.com/2006/10...-electric-car/
Even Street Legal Cars are much faster.
http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/..._Car_-_2200BHP
Since you're bringing up cars that aren't even production, I'll do one
better.
My souped up Volkswagen Nardo W12 does 306 MPH in Grand Turismo 4,
take that Sledgehammer Corvette.
