#8366 of 8698 I thought by nippononly Apr 22, 2009 (9:08 pm)
at one point they said they WOULD be bringing the Up! to America?   I would like to see that sold here. At this rate they will chicken out before they bring over the Polo.

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 23, 2009 1:19 pm) I loved that concept Microbus. They could have gotten me with that. Replies to this message: texases (Apr 23, 2009 7:02 pm) ateixeira (Apr 24, 2009 11:24 am)

Replying to: fezo (Apr 23, 2009 6:41 pm) VW baffled me when they didn't go with the Microbus. A ready-made market, and a car that's actually practical, instead of just cute (New Beetle). But no, Routan was the better idea Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 24, 2009 11:24 am)

Replying to: texases (Apr 23, 2009 7:02 pm) Me three. That would actually have drawn me in for a test drive. The concept was soooo cool, too.

the Polo is still on schedule, and wouldn't it be nice if we got a TDI model too.   Ford has already said no to diesel Fiestas, even though they have the perfect diesel available in Europe.
