Here are some more information for Cabrio Gti:

Porsche has released a refined Cayenne line-up for 2008. These include the base, S, and the Turbo. Two of the considered significant changes include the angrier looking, more slated VW headlights and a revised front fascia with ribs cutting across larger vents.

The turbo model keeps its signature hood bulges. It will also be differentiated from the other two models by larger turn indicators that resemble the LED strips found on the front of the new 911 Turbo. Base and S models on the other hand, will have smaller, round indicators. It was recently announced that a refined Boxster with increases of five horsepower for each model will go along with the vehicle. With this, some automotive journalists think Porsche will give a similar increase to the Cayenne.

All three Cayennes, the base, S, and the Turbo, have the trade mark of larger gill-like front fascias. They also all have new engines and suspension options. The new line of V-6 and V-8 engines all feature direct fuel injection, as Porsche calls it the DFI, for greater power and efficiency. As an option, all three models will also have a new electronic suspension system called Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC).

Despite of its impressive performance and record-setting sales, some critics have (and are still) complaining that the first-generation Porsche Cayenne lack in character, and that misfortune continues with the 2008 Cayenne. It has a new face, mildly reworked interiors, and revised engines, but little else feels or looks different.

On a brighter side, the Cayenne S and Turbo are even more muscle-bound than before, with power increasing from 340 and 450 hp to 385 and 500 hp, respectively. Porsche says that highway fuel economy is up 15 percent for the Cayenne S and 11 percent for the Turbo - thanks to the new and improved direct injection or the DFI. The base Cayenne was supplied by VW with V-6 power manual-transmission which has been enlarged from 3.2 to 3.6 liters for an additional 43 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque. Active anti roll bars are now available on air-suspended models.

Coming standard on all Cayenne models is Porsche's Stability Management (PSM), with its brake assist function, advanced trailer stabilization system and off-road ABS. These functions improve the brakes' reaction speed, significantly reduce the yawing which can affect vehicles when towing, and optimize braking performance on loose ground. The static and, for the first time, dynamic bend lighting that come with the bi-xenon headlamps fitted as standard to the Cayenne Turbo likewise increase active safety. The system, which can also be ordered for the Cayenne and Cayenne S, is activated as soon a speed of three kilometers per hour is reached.

Volkswagen's Rabbit Punch

It was year 1975 and VW sales were dropping. Japanese auto makers were rapidly advancing inside the US market with little boxtypes far cheaper than a Beetle. To address this threat, VW came up with a small front wheel drive car that was Spartan-like in every way. Enter the VW Rabbit, a water-cooled 4 cylinder, with a transversely mounted engine driving the front wheels for around the same price as a Japanese compact sedan. From that time on, the Rabbit has replaced the Beetle in the US consumer market. With this development, the Rabbit started off the influx of a new Volkswagen generation. Known and lauded for its very efficient fuel economy, the VW Rabbit never received many changes over the years of its production, but it did receive many improvements. When local production started in the US in 1979, the VW Rabbit part that underwent the most noticeable and defining change was its set of headlights. The front lighting system was replaced with new square-type headlights. In 1981, the Rabbit got another make-over. Gone were the small taillights, replaced by square-type ones, which include wrap around turn signals. In that same year, the engine grew from 1.6 to 1.7L , and the diesel variant from 1.5 to 1.6. In 1982, the sport compact version of the VW Rabbit was introduced --- the 1.8L GTi, armed with tuned up VW Rabbit parts – stiffer suspension, alloy wheels, front air dam, and specially designed Recaro sport seats. Top speed, acceleration, and handling were tweaked on the GTi. Another edition was also released in 1982 called the Rabbit "black tie" edition. A set of black bumpers and mouldings was added as an add-on VW Rabbit part giving the car a meaner and sportier look. The interior had special seats, while the outside got a rear wiper. In July 1984, the VW Rabbit moved over to make way for the production of the new Golf. VW Rabbit's convertible has continued to be produced after being re-designed and renamed from Rabbit convertible to Cabriolet and renamed once again recently to Cabrio. Although short lived, the Rabbit, gave Volkswagen the much-needed breathing room and a new headstart. However, the production of the VW Rabbit has still not completely died off. Rabbit MK1's are still being produced by Volkswagen of South Africa as the consumer model. In fact, the "Rabbit of the Month" was made in November 1999. In the first half of the new century, the sales of the Golf, VW Rabbit's successor, steadily dropped in the North American market. VW US decided that a re-branding is needed to save its lofty position in the automotive market. On 12 April 2006, at the Detroit Auto Show Volkswagen of America announced the return of the VW Rabbit. The “new” Rabbit is the same model as the Golf V being sold in the rest of the world. VW bosses were hoping that the nostalgia-factor coupled with a lower price tag will help thrust Rabbit sales. The strategy has worked quite well. In fact, the Kelly Blue Book, a top-rated website providing vehicle pricing and information, named the VW Rabbit as one of the “Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000″ because it provides “the consumer with results that are needed in today’s economy.” It noted the relatively high utility-per-dollar value of the VW Rabbit as the compact workhorse gives the performance, safety, environmental impact, fuel economy, styling and comfort at just a price range starting at $14,990. Yet, a closer look at the new VW Rabbit shows that indeed, it has evolved to a very valuable, highly functional compact vehicle. Capacity has become flexible with VW Rabbit's leather-wrapped 60/40 split rear seating. A key VW Rabbit part added to the new version is the External Temperature Gauge designed to determine temperature outside the Rabbit, useful in crossing state lines, mountain ranges, and other climactic zones. The presence of an electromechanical power steering gives tighter steering and lessens pollutants, since it does not use harmful steering fluids. But what makes the VW Rabbit a cut above its contemporaries is its new five-cylinder engine, which obviously gives it more power to sweep past its competitors. Other add-ons that set the VW Rabbit in a class of its own are its variable windshield wipers, automatic climate control, heated side windows, cruise control, traction control system, cargo area tie-downs, power outlets at the cargo area, four-wheel disc brakes, and additional turn signals. Indeed, Volkswagen may have stamped its name in the international automotive arena, but it seems to have lived, died, and lived again in the American market with its Rabbit.

Can the Puegeot 205 pas be transplanted to earlier cars?

Can the power steering system be transplanted from the LATER 205`s to an earlier one eg; the pas system on a 205 (GTi or Turbo Diesel) to the 205 junior cabrio/

I have owned 10 different 205's in my life, 5 currently. You only have to avoid interchanging parts from the pre-1987 to the post-1987 cars.
The steering column is a different length between these years. AND the steering column-to-rack attachment bracket is slightly different.

So.... in answer to your question, a LATER 205 (1987 to 1998) should fit on an earlier one (but not earlier than 1987).
Personally, I think many parts from a 306 or 405 might also fit! I own both these cars too.

Also... I am not sure what a ''gti'' might have to make it different. Diesel should give you NO special problems.
EXPENSE: don't buy anything new for this discontinued 205 model. The price will be high. In Belgium, 205 parts are still cheap and plentiful. If you need an internet source for parts from Belgium (Oostkamp near Brugge) just ask me.
