I was curious what color would be used for the registration for these. Online it says that either the chassis/unibody determined the base color or they were registered as “multi-colored”.

I for one would love to see more colorful cars on the market :)

The rear quarter panel is the original chassis paint and registration color. This one's red.

One of my teacher had a phone like that, but she drove a convertible 1995 Ford Mustang, and smoked using a cigarette holder.

Not sure what is says about my school....

I swear this was VW's equivalent to trying to cook with all the items in the fridge that are about to expire.
