Well, it was, and then again it wasn't.

I agree that it really had very few features in common outside of the engine, 
including the FI. I think the front brakes are pretty similar, but there's not 
much to play with there.

OTOH, they were built by VW at the same time and got a type 4 VIN.

I have to admit that I never thought of them as the sport model of the type 4 
line, but I think there's room for that perception.
