Every time I see a Harlequin, I can't help but remember how I used to think they were missing a good opportunity.

Ford had the Eddie Bauer trucks, Lincoln had the Cartier package, AMC had the Levi's Denim package, VW should have had the Benneton package

He has one of the coolest VW collections in the US.

I love Harlequin Golfs.

So if you have one, do you keep it stock or GTI-ize it? 

I think I would GTI it. The only real reason to keep it stock is if it is pristine low-miles BAT-bait.

I'm with you on sporting it up a bit. Stick to bolt-ons. Or buy two. Maybe that's the correct answer here.

I just noticed that the Golf Harlequin and the original Polo Harlequin had black door handles (which now look out of place), the new Polo Harlequin has door handles that match each door, and the SEMA car takes it to the next level with contrasting door handles.

That is the type of car that I am glad that they made but there is no way I would want it.

I really like the Harlequin cars. I am always a fan of car companies doing things that really make no sense but they say eff it and do it anyway.

Ran that Tuff Neck chain ring forever, it was stuffed in a box my mom gave me when they moved house and I hadn't opened it til now lol. Guys I rode with always made fun of me cause I didn't have whatever cool sprocket was in style, always ran that one.

Meh, it totally works. Now it's all one-piece gears--which makes sense--but I miss the old powerdiscs.
