[BMan1113VR]

wondering if they have this car over in england. . .haven't heard of one before today when i saw it parked down the street. . .had german plates. i checked the US VW website and confirmed that they didn't make them in the states

anyone have any info on it?

oh that road mosquito.
they are quite rare even in holland, which says something about the pricing as the Seat(spanish version of VW, usually cheaper) version is more common

VAG (master company of VW) is built up the following way

Top segment: Audi, VW Phaeton
Top middle segment: VW
lower middle segment: Seat, Skoda, VW Golf
Low segment: Skoda

We have them in England. They're quite common too.

They were designed because as the Golf evolved it lost some of the performance it had in the MkI/II era. So they built the Lupo as a sporty replacement. It comes with either a 1.5 or 3 litre engine. And goes like a bomb.

3l engine in a lupo? no....and it's not sporty ,too. just a normal city car.

Trust me, you can buy them with a 3l engine. It is a city car. But a city car with the performance of a Golf MkI.

Is the American version of this car the Rabbit?

That sure ain't no Rabbit, besides I thought VW stopped making them. Anyway, it looks like a toned down Golf.

Rabbit, Golf, they're all the same car...  It's the same one.
