Dasher is a powerful car that also gets about 25 miles to the gallon. It's small enough to be a cinch to park, big enough to come with a specially designed rear suspension for taking heavy loads. (And a low loading platform that means no muscle required for loading groceries, bicycles etc.) Dasher has frontwheel drive that does some nifty road-holding, loaded or unloaded, wet roads and dry. It only needs maintenance once every 10,000 miles. And it has the amazing Skidbreaker: when one side of the car is riding on a wet or slippery surface, Skidbreaker forces Dasher to move in a straight line as you brake.

If the Dasher wagon sounds ahead of its time, you're right, it is. But it's at your nearest Volkswagen dealer now. A new kind of Volkswagen. RULE VOLKSWAGEN, Inc. Rt.
