Some “21 Million” came with different equipment than the rest of the edition. Example: bumpers with “wide” strip, the decals were slightly different many times. Door panels without velour, and/or without storage pockets. The reason is, that those cars that were differently equipped; were produced by “Volkswagen de Mexico” during the period of the labour strike in August 1992. In some cases, they were sold with a notice on the windscreen thanking the customer for their purchase, and offering an apology for the difference that could be noticed regarding the equipment level of the car they had purchased.
