Now to me, this was one of the biggest hits of the NY show. No VW didn't make a big production about the Rabbit, in fact it was just there, open for anyone to sit in and poke around, pop the hood and generally climb all over. The reason it's going to be a hit, is the target price of $15k.
The Rabbit on the floor had a 2.5L I5 making 150 hp and 170 lb ft of torque, still delivering 30+ mpg on the highway, for the price of a Yaris, Versa or Fit. Now I had already fallen for the new GTI, but the Rabbit was just as impressive in it's own way, sure it's not a pocket rocket, but it looks like a great car that will leave you with some pocket change. I'm looking forward to learning more about the new Rabbit, a needed return to VW's roots.
