AndyW Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Yeah, we saw these either last year or earlier in the year. There wasn't a positive reaction, fairly understandably.What I will say is that its very mini Golf like, which is not strictly a good thing, but a GTi version may look ok. I doubt our GTi would get that bodykit, its far too 'fussy' for a VW, if you look at how the performance models have looked recently. Look at the R32, similar styling in many ways to the Lupo GTi kit, and the new Golf GTi looks like it will follow the same direction.Still, positive things aside, it still looks like a Pug 307/Daewoo matiz clone, and the dash looks horrid. Given the stylish dash's coming out of Seat at the moment, I like to the VW in europe wouldn't even dream of releasing it like that. But we'll see.I won't be buying one though, I'll be keeping my vintage 2004 Lupo GTi in the garage and buying a MINI Cooper S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 It just doesn't look like a VW...On the plus side - I wonder what engine the sporty one will have, and whether it'll be easily transplantable :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargoil Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hopefully it'll have a turbo, 1.4T/1.6T something like that , like the Punto GT to make it really cheap to get some big horses out of! I'll reserve judgement till I see one in the flesh and/or drive one but after having a poke about a new golf and having a Polo as a courtesy car for a day I don't hold out much hope that It'll have a nice/ well built interior which would put me right off!!

Nicki Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 There was talk a while back on another forum (can't remember which forum tho!) that VW were developing a 1.0T that would be kicking out about `160-170bhp`... It was also rumoured that this was gonna be headed in the direction of the mk2 lupo & the polo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Is it me or does it just look like a Punto and that dash is more horrid than the new Polo's!A guy from my work was over in Mexico on a job and saw them and says they are quite popular though.Like the sound of that 1.0 engine, small rev happy engines are the most fun. Just like the old Diahatsu Charade 1.0 GTI style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanabeGangster Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 That red one's gotta 1.6 badge on it. Dya think vw are gonna be stupid and stick big engines in small cars like punto's and corsa's have now got, which seem to go slower than the '200cc' smaller old models.

bossjohnc Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 That 1.6 would probably be the FSI engine, as opposed to the 125BHP engine in the GTi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Saw a Seat Altea last night - looked a bit like the new loop - is that what it's based on??edit: nope, not at all, must have been really dark last night!! lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 if they lowered it a bit and chopped the roof down it would look a lot better, still too much like a standard euro box though, like a fiat punto. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 that makes it into some sort of mini roadster though like, ummmm the smart roadster. I hope they `re-think` the styling a lot before release and that the future GTi is actually a Gti not a 'pepper'. Oh and be at least 150bhp standard.
