2023 redesign notes:

- The Tech Center now has easily identifiable information. Look for the following:
Download guide:
Issue to troubleshoot- Diagram, component location, and such in image format:
- External web link: Tap/clickable
- Thumbnail images outlined in blue are enlargeable by clicking/tapping them.
- The Museum, Store, and Registry are no longer subdomains, but simply a site section by name. (The subdomains were created simply to resolve a WYSIWYG software issue many years ago. The site no longer utilizes that type of software.)
- All paint colors and interior/upholstery styles now have their own dedicated pages, each with information and a photo gallery.
- The above, along with each model, also contain a rarity (or popularity, depending on how you see it) rating.
- Most model pages have been updated with better photo examples.
- The Golf III Cabrio side of the site has been removed. It's domain, cabrio-info.com, now redirects to cabby-info.com.
