Brother_Will Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Looks like VW let the cat out of the bag a little early on the new Lupo/Fox successor and it looks like VW have stuck with the Up! name and not brought back the Lupo badge. Im in two minds about it although its a little nicer than the concept it doesn't really set my heart racing, perhaps the GTI version if there is one will be a little less twee.http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/21/volkswagen-unveils-production-up-on-the-road-to-frankfurt/#continued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDerek Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Better looking than the fox but nothing compared to a loop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_M Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Not as nice as the cencept pics I loved.Looks a little like a van to me and can still see a Fox shape in the side profile.........would not be supprised if it is a Fox chassis and running gear with a new shell and interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Looks retarded on my iPhone screen as it's squished to look like a Smart car. But still looks better than a Fox! Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Looks tidy and nicely finished. The black one masks the design features somewhat, so that'd be off my colour choice straight away. The model names are curious and if VW offered an individual spec programme, would it be called the Up! Yours? I can't see that naming scheme lasting very long.If I've understood the article correctly, I'm surprised that the PID thing is a VW device rather than syncing to iOS or Android items, why go to the trouble of designing a new phone when someone has already done it?As for a GTI, it's not going to happen. I reckon at best we'll see the 105ps 1.2 go in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDGM Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 One thing there is no mention of, is the final location for the engine. The last concept that Silver! posted up indicated a front engined car would be the choice. I'm sure if it were rear engined, it might've been made a fuss of.who'll be first for Up! rims on a Lupo?

lupo1.0se Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just had a look at the interior on the red one I can predict as soon as spares come available that would be the first thing that would be changed as soon as a club lupo member buys one!It looks good but I am not completely sold on the front end.

Silver! Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I read somewher today that they have dropped the "!"I like it, pretty close to the prototype model.I like the black and white, not so sure of the red. I don't reckon we'll see a GTI, as IDGM says 1.2 105PS.TSO just had gander at the pic's and says I'm not allowed one. Back and front don't match and it looks like all the other "twee" cars out there.TBH I'm shocked she has such an opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 oh great another car that looks like an aygo/107/C1/ who ever else has scratched the toyota badge off and glued there own on. it genuinely looks like a lovely personisation of a aygo,twingo and a polo-esque styled front bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 If anyone's going to do it, I think Seat will drop the 1.2 turbo in.Remap to 125-140hp, beef up the handling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother_Will Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well even if VW haven't got an Up!

DarkStryder360 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hell yeah! Love that possible GTi mock up!Although I doubt it will be that low, or with such teeny wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polariskid Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not a scratch on the Lupo, but I'd still buy one. RUNS ON GAS AS STANDARD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieface Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Love it from the front and side, but the arse end looks god-awful. The lights and boot are rancid.As for the GTi looks pretty funky, but as said above, the wheels are too small, and I don't think VW would put a "tasty" engine in it, its supposed to be an "eco friendly" carWould love to see the likes of something like a 1.8Turbo in one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thooooom Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 the interior looks like my friends moms fiat 500 with the plastic going all the way across the dash. cant make my mind up on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 if they do an up gt i'll definately take a look into getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1.0e Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 In Autocar they have published a road test of the up! and an interview with Ulrich Hackenburg (VW Global Engineering Chief) and he has reported that although no diesel is planned at the moment a four cylinder version of the new 3cylinder 1.0 engine in the standard car. Perhaps this will be the performance up!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
