Tornado Red Paint. There is a definite lack of documentation concerning the distinction of the 1990 Carat WLE. Volkswagen's window stickers on the Carat WLEs didn't even mention that this was a WLE version as Volkswagen had done for all previous WLEs. The only discernible differences between the earlier 1990 Carat models and the WLE version is that the WLEs all had Tornado Red paint, and of course a "Wolfsburg Edition" emblem on each front fender. Even the $18,670 price was the same as other 1990 Carats.
Beginning in 1991 the Tornado Red paint was available on Vanagon GL models as well. |
