Go for the VR6 Corrado, Scott.
Don't touch the G-Lader one. They cost as much in blowers as an SVX does in trannies.
Smaller, lighter, faster, what more do you want??
Oh, and I agree with Todd, Volkswagens do not have reliability problems over here. In fact, all German built motors, eg BMW, Merc, Audi and VW have very high build quality reputations here, and hold correspondingly high residual values. I left out Opels, but they are not in the same build league as the others.
Apply the same purchasing rules as for the SVX. Buy the best you can get. Do not fall in love with it before you check it out. Judge the car on condition, on how well it has been minded. Do not presume you have to buy the first car you find because they are scarce.
{ Are your Volkswagens built in the US or Mexico, rather than in Germany???}
