Thanks to those who responded to my query regarding GLS vs MV. I
actually got to see a tornado red GLS at a closed dealer today, and
by golly, it was unlocked. I have been in a GLS before a while back,
but after borrowing an MV for a weekend and then sitting in this GLS
I realized that the GLS has significantly more legroom in the front
seats as some listers mentioned. Being 6'4", with a tall wife as
well, that sealed it for us, we will get a GLS. Also decided we
didn't like the red as much as we thought we would, so it'll be the
default silver.
As for the lease deal someone asked about, it is the green light
lease where VW pays your first month's payment, and there are no
other up front charges. You pay nothing at all for one month. And
this is not one of those deals where they just roll it back in later
in the lease. It is an excellent lease, and we are getting $1000 off
sticker (on an '03) to boot.
