The Volkswagen Golf, or Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States, is a small family car produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen since 1974. The vehicles transverse-mounted 4-cylinder water-cooled engine and front wheel drive gave it unprecedented efficiency by comparison to contemporary American vehicles. Despite this, sales were slow until sharp increases in oil prices drove a commensurate spike in VW sales. The original Rabbit was a front-wheel drive, front-engine replacement for the air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive Volkswagen Beetle. Historically, the Rabbit is Volkswagen&#8217;s best-selling model and the world&#8217;s second best-selling model, with more than 29 million built by 2012.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Revell California Wheels series kit #85-4333 VW Rabbit in 1:24 scale.

The body is clean and has no mold lines.\u00c2\u00a0 The front and rear panels are separate and installed after painting. The decal sheet is very detailed with exterior badges, interior instruments, exterior moldings and stripes, and chrome work. This is a high detail kit.
