Pezza Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Knew they were still building GTI. Seems 3ltr as well. Suppose bacause both cars have quite a bit in common. Fox is bigger. Why? The lupo is the perfect size for the 'PC' world we live in. I'll let VW get on with it. They know best (?). Excluding Bora,Phaeton etc!

Loopy Lupo Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 i can't wait for someone to road test one of these to confirm it's 'agility'. practical, economical, boring design...yawn..i've decided i've repeated myself enough on this topic - will now wait for first road tests.

DJ Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 The TDi only puts out 69bhp :? wtf! Also I note (with disgust) that it is 5 stud wheels on it so a better selection of wheels will be available, also the lower area of the dash is slowly winning me over. The seats look pants though and lack of a rev counter shows cost cutting. The trim looks gaudy as well.Again I'm sure TG will rip into it when it is available for them to drive so I will wait for their opinion.More and more reviews are starting to say that it isn't a direct replacement for the Lupo though.

dlyall Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 aberdeen_djRev counter is to the left of the speedo. I think what's missing is a temp guage - probably just a warning light.Agree that the seats look rubbish but the rest looks OK other than it lacking the Lupo character.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Wouldn't buy one in a million years, but I seriously think it's really good news for VW's sales figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 we'll have to wait and see, i don't think it will be that much cheaper than a lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
