The Mazda 6's fat, ugly cousin.

The Corrado is one of the greatest modern VWs, praised for its great handling, VR6 engine, and handsome styling. I can't even remember the last time I've seen one, or its older brother, the Scirocco.

It's a tchotchke from a presser that was given to a boatload of other people and is more or less intended as a mild bribe. It's impersonal and of dubious intent, not Red Wings tickets given to you by a company contact that you interact with regularly. There's a line here, I'm just not sure it's been crossed, and even

Yeah, right. The issue in Texas is actually less of a partisan one than you'd think, with some Republicans supporting it.
