Vw Fox
Vw Fox
I saw one earlier on way back from Cardiff. First impressions- not good
The driver of the car pretty fitted the apparent age group it was designed for, that being the more mature generation shall we say. Thing looks like KA and a jeeps love-child from behind. This is the first one I've seen on the road. Am I correct to believe this is the car VW launched to replace the Polo, if so..... BIG MISTAKE!!!!
Btw I dont mean to cause offence to anyone that owns the KA/Jeep but I dont like it!

Nope, its the replacement for the Lupo, the Polo is still going strongBiddle wrote:Am I correct to believe this is the car VW launched to replace the Polo, if so..... BIG MISTAKE!!!!
The Fox is a VW to rival the Aygo/C1/107 and similar, its actually supposed to be very good for the market it is aimed at, judging by the reviews
Yes its quite tall - taller than the mk7 Polo - but its not supposed to be a sports car!
Ahh thats more than likely what I read, it was a while ago. It probably would be better than the C1/107 etc due to the fact that it is a VW. I just dont like the current trend in car style's when it comes to hatchbacks. By this I mean cars like the C3/Micra/Fox. What I'm trying to get at is why replace the Lupo with it? Unless they are planning on releasing the Fox Gti then I think it will only really appeal to the older market IMO.

Its a clever car, it offers what the mainstream VW buyer wants, practicality, space, height, VW badge and build quality. I doubt there will be a hot hatch as we have golf and polo GTi's, and its not like Lupo GTi's are everywhere so i doubt they sold too well.
I agree with what was said previously, i think alot of current small hatches have gone gone for tall and spaciousness rather than looking good, my examples being the Ford fiesta, New leon, Golf plus, Honda civic, Micra, Suzuki wagon r.....
They look absolutley stupid, i hate them all with a passion. If i wanted a tall car i would buy an MPV or a landrover, not a jacked up supermini. Thankfully the Polo and the Ibiza are safe from this stupid square tall look for now, so one of those will be my next car. I just hope small hatchbacks go back to being fun to look at, drive and own, instead of stupidly boring.
