I saw a VW tristar truck in the parking lot of a food co-op in Knoxville TN. With Ontario plates. I'm guessing snowbirds stocking up on organic supplies on their way to FL as the store is convenient to the interstate.
It was the double cab version which I understand is pretty rare. It had a diesel engine so it wasn't the 1998 version, though there is similarity. It looked like it was designed by the team who came up with the thing.
An uncle I used to be around when I was a child briefly had a different car that I had never been able to remember what it was. I remembered it as some sort of American brand but Japanese feeling sports car with turbo and weird visor things in the rear window. A couple months ago I got behind that kind of car on the freeway: a Dodge Daytona. Matched perfectly what I remembered.
Coulda been an Avenger. The Avenger and Stealth were basically mitsubishis. The Daytona is a vw golf.

The Daytona had nothing to do with a VW. Nor was it Japanese. The Plymouth Laser was a Mitsubishi and looked similar (one of the DiamondStar triplets), but they shared nothing with the Daytona either. I had a Daytona, it was all Dodge 2.2 liter K car underneath (and the K car came originally from a Simca design with a modified VW 1.6 liter engine, but that's as close as it ever came to being a VW Golf).
