Don't worry Bernd.. all us GenII people won't let it go to our heads.. I
came close a couple of time to switching to a Gen III before I joined the
list.. Just the brakes warping, ball joints popping, peeling bumpers.. The
overall odds and ends that are often discussed on here make me grateful I
kept my Gen II.. But I really do prefer the Gen III styling alot better; and
there are many more accessories available for the newer ones as well.
