Clarification: October 12, 2019

I'll be back soon to vent more about the the possibility of the United States, the only country that does not follow the rest of the world in so many ways, being the only country without a standard Golf in its Volkswagen lineup.  But for now, I need to offer a clarification of my earlier blog entry about the Golf station wagon being dropped in the U.S.  In my piece "Der Kaput Variant," I gave an ostensibly complete list of all the VW wagons sold in the United States but forgot that there was a wagon version of the Fox, the small Brazilian-built VW sold here from 1987 to 1993.  (A 1988 model is shown below; note the absence of rear passenger doors, although small station wagons without rear passenger doors were pretty much obsolete by the late 1980s.)  I have since edited in a reference to the Fox wagon into my post; I regret the original omission.
