Its about the same price as the previous one, even a little bit more expensive, so I dont really understand how they could have "cheapened" the brand compared to the Mk1 ???
Then again, how do you expect a car for that price to be "exclusive"
When they first came out in the UK they were only 180bhp or 225bhp both with quatro. By the end of the MarkI you could get a 150bhp 2wd with various varients in between which made it more affordable to a wider sector
