JimA=> we have to admit that Chevy did it => before VW. It's true that Chevy got their cars out first. I may be wrong here, but it's been my understanding that the clays for the Type 34 were up and in process at the Ghia studios when GM came to call seeking ideas for its Volkswagen-killer. The similarity is even more striking in the early Monza Spyder, GM's concept car. AaronC=> Do the Type 34's have the same => handling "problems" that the Covair => supposedly suffered from The GM choices of a large, overweight engine and larger interior disbalanced the design considerably, and consequently the already pretty weak American suspension engineering was pressed to keep up. Yes, all Type 3's have a *much* better suspension than most contemporary American cars.
