CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted June 29, 2010 Been touring the rockys in Canada for a few weeks and noticed this style of golf,its a mk4 with mk5 front and rear end,truly a odd ball.....did we ever get these in the UK....and why?? they have a mk4 and mk5 golf over there anyway,why the need to make a odd ball :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 29, 2010 Yeah it's a Polo front end, called a City Golf (as opposed to the Rabbit) and made by VW Brazil. Dinkus might know a bit more about it.... VW Brazil kind of do there own thing to suit the styling of the US - the same as China who are still using a Corrado look alike dashboard in the Jetta.

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted June 29, 2010 ah thanks,every time i walked past one of them i do a double take...its ugly....really ugly :lol: ,cant find a pic of rear end,it looks odder than the front,i suppose its the same as the mk3 cabriolet with the mk4 front end.....just spare parts and a gap in the market to full :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WreckedGecko 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah it's a Polo front end, called a City Golf (as opposed to the Rabbit) and made by VW Brazil. Dinkus might know a bit more about it.... VW Brazil kind of do there own thing to suit the styling of the US - the same as China who are still using a Corrado look alike dashboard in the Jetta. I thought the City Golf was the MK1 style one with the polo interior that they only just stopped making. Possibly in South Africa, can't remember. Having said that, the thought occures that there is no reason that 2 cars on 2 continents can't be called the same thing... I'll get me coat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
