Dark Gray Corrado, Pottstown Car Show

            Some auto pundits say that the Corrado, despite its jaw-dropping price tag, saved Volkswagen in the United States because of its equally jaw-dropping performance.  That's a pretty dubious argument to make, as much of the Corrado's time on the market in These States was during Volkswagen's U.S. nadir - fewer than 50,000 cars sold in 1993, the worst sales figures for Volkswagen of America since Carl Hahn first became president of the U.S. division in 1958.  (I would argue that the third-generation Jetta saved VW's bacon in America, as it was the most popular European car of the 1990s in the U.S. market.)

The Corrado did, however, remind enthusiasts why the liked Volkswagen in the first place, and it kept them talking about Volkswagen even through the brand's worst years in the U.S., and some of them could actually buy one.  And they did.  This 1992 Corrado SLC at the Pottstown car show is one of the survivors.

Note: My Canon Power Shot's battery died without warning during this Volkswagen Group show, so I had had to use my flip phone.  This and every photo of the show that follows were taken with my flip phone.
