dinkus 10 Posted March 30, 2006 So VW had quite a cute, cool little ditty with the Lupo...then they go replace it with a dreary tin can resurrecting a crap name/brand with the Fox. What are they playing at?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted March 31, 2006 yep, less than impressed cant see that looking good on design 90's! I actually quite like the 'fox' name for its retroesque feel, but the new design looks like a micro MPV. when will car manufactuers realise WE DONT ALL WANT CARS THAT LOOK LIKE MPV'S!!!!

Trig 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Yeh it's to compete with these silly little 'superminis' that seem to be selling well at the mo. Swift, Jazz etc. Lupo was too big I suspect. What size wheels are those 10"?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted March 31, 2006 wheels? no mate, they're pringles tube lids painted to look like wheels... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

veedub 0 Posted March 31, 2006 bristolbaron, Good move, could you honestly sleep at night after you sold someone that? It truley is horrible, looks like it was made by Kia! Im getting tired just looking at it!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Sniffpetrol said it ages ago: From http://www.sniffpetrol.com/issue028.html But anyway. People DO all want to buy these mini MPVs. They sell like the proverbial. Why? Cheap, cheerful, comfortable, easy to park in town, etc etc. Boring? Of course! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted March 31, 2006 Sniffpetrol said it ages ago Ah yes, I remember it well :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riclad 0 Posted March 31, 2006 I heard the 'fox' aint got no air con, no electric windows, no radio . . . . .apparantly its as basic as they come. Tryin to compete with the Kia i suppose. WRONG! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted March 31, 2006 when will car manufactuers realise WE DONT ALL WANT CARS THAT LOOK LIKE MPV'S!!!! Trouble is they are styled to suit the masses, lots of mums who can't stretch to the budget of a real MPV. As a mumsy car it's probably quite good. They make what people will buy.

dinkus 10 Posted March 31, 2006 Heh heh, we're all whinging about this now, yet it was the stripped out, simple cars that got VW their reputation and indeed, business to start with. But at least the original designs were interesting and different... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
