True, and actually there was a recall because of that for the 2000 and early 2001 model year cars. Owners of the spoilerless TTs were given the option of having the rear spoiler installed for free. If they declined, they had to sign a waiver. Naturally, a majority of the original owners took the free rear spoiler...which is why you'll rarely see a TT today without one.
