Loopy Lupo Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 i really can't warm to this car at all....everything they've said in the write up including the 'kettle' comment is spot on imo. where's the design flare for gods sake!!!

twisty b-road Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Take the badges off and it could be a Proton or a KiaStill like to see a GTi version though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 It looks as if the mag was saying it would live with the Lupo and the Polo"Fox will go head to head with the Lupo and Polo" When are they releasing this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 You can get a new Polo for under £7k from VW at the moment, so once again VW's 'cheap' entry level car will be more expensive than their second tier car!!!Madness!I like the kettle comment as well style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yes it does look boreing but so did a standard Lupo.I still stand by my clame that this can be a cool looking car once altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I can't agree with you on that one Tgiz (standard Lupo is not boring at all!)but the Fox looks like a f00king pug! What a shame, VW must have hired a kettle designer to come up with such a generic kak... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yeah, i don't like the one in that pic so much but the 'pepper' i saw a while back looked good i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 let's face it though, if you know you could get the same car in south america for the equivalent of £4K your never going to be happy paying over £7K for it no matter how good it looks.

zippy Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yeah - even the VW European `pre-production` blurb said it would be £`5k-ish`.Just goes to show that they believe the UK punters will buy anything.Even a Ford Ka is like £5k, and the 10 year old design looks bore bold & adventurous than the new VW 'Focks'.

DanGTI Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 yep agree with most comments above......yes with work it will look good, i have no doubt of that but the standard lupo did look unique to start with....this is just the standard mini mpv mould that you oculd convincingly badge as a new Kia, Proton, Hyundai etc etc......disapointing when the french are making their small cars funky, and even fiat try to be and ford are well ahead in terms of visual appeal (dulled only by the volume of cars on the road).
