From the article:
I'm not sure what this says about me, but i have owned both of the 914s spiritual decendants. I loved my Corrado, except it always ran hot in Dallas trafic and I worroed about it's durability. That car may be the most sofisticated ever attempted by VW!

From the Volkswagen side, the idea of sports cars is also persistent. The 914 was the spiritual successor of the Type 114 of 1939, a sports car on the Beetle’s chassis. Almost identical in shape to the later Karmann Ghia, it was tested in the wind tunnel. And the 914’s spiritual descendants were the sporty Scirocco and Corrado.

I think the Corrado looks really good and I would love to have one to go with my 914.
