-=R LUPO Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Personally i dont like it, but then i didnt like the mk4 Golf, and now i love it!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I think it looks alright as a car in it's own right, but it's nothing like the MK1 lupo and shouldn't be replacing it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I don't really like it, i definitely wouldn't buy one that's for sure. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> The photoshop looks cool but i'd rather have a mk1 lupo than the new one and i don't think it deserves to replace the mk1 lupo either! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p88bel Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I think its ok but its turning more to yaris styling or something, it's not got same crazy look of the lupos we have today, long live our lupos lolI've seen pics of the one thats to replace gti somewhere ill see if i can find it and post it, I dont think it's available to buy anywhere yet, it looked much better but not anywhere near as good as gti and lupos we have the now!!!

AndyW Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Front still looks cack, but actually on the whole these realistic pics look much better than the press shots from vw. Its a decent little car I suppose, but as a lupo replacement, no ta.Best thing I can say is that I like the rear lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGTI Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 nope. i like some features of the interior, butwhereas the GTI is a different bodyshell this just has add on skirts and over fussy front bumper.....the current or old GTI looks much more up to date with its smoother body. if the production version is like this, it really is a step backwards in terms of styling (unless you consider moving towards the mini mpv look a step forwards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Unfortunately, it's pretty clear that the Lupo - GTi at least, is a failure as far as VW are concerned - fantastic car, but there's too much else in the price range thats either more powerful, or better specced (e.g. air con).The new Lupo will be made in Brazil(?) and will be available for a fair bit less than the current one. I don't think they're trying to make a quality car this time, they're trying to make a car that will sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're trying to make a quality car this time, they're trying to make a car that will sell.i agree mate....they perhaps focused on the wrong things (xenon lamps being an example - don't get me wrong i love em...but they are about an 800 squid option on the mini for example) which all helped to bump the price of the base car up...add that to the fact that the standard handling is a bit poo, and then the price, and the Loop Gti was perhaps a bit doomed from the start.....i ain't complaining mind....it's nice to be a bit different and rare!**** me, i've just noticed the cheeky lovely persons have put Loop GTi pedals in that piece of crap....what an insult!!just thinking....i wonder what the cost ratios would have been to put a more powerful engine in the Loop Gti to begin with and ditch the mega expensive ally panels? mmmmm ponder on!
