Default VW GOL/Fox

I think this is nice, but it looks a bit dated now:
GOL:

I also like the Fox, which is like a facelifted POLO I think, which is nice because I dont like the polo:

Is this going to be the next LUPO??

The front of that "Gol" looks like the vw ten years ago! And the back of that "Fox" is right from the Seat Altea. The Fox looks quite good, but i think to boring. The Gol doesn't look that good, and is boring too

They are kind of plain and boring, which is probably why I like them a bit!

I was wondering the same.
What are those two cars? Concepts or abandoned designs? Official? Will they be produced? :?

I think they are old abandoned concepts, the GOL appears to be a sporting version of the golf, many years ago, and I think the fox (also called the Lupo) never made it into production as the Lupo, but ended up as a face changed SEAT or something like that!

Oh, I see... well the GOL is ugly and useless (serves no particular reason) but the Fox seems kinda good, and it could really work out as the next Lupo.

So right you are, CarRocker pointed it out to me, it is to be produced in many varities,
Sorry to dig this old post up, but I though that since there was so musc disbelief about these cars, I would post them so you can all see proof of their existance..
i hope these pics work;

The VW Fox



VW Fox Pepper



VW CrossFox



both of above;



Oh and look, that looks like the VW Gol is also real The car is very real in Brazil, as is the Fox range, not really destined for Euro markets, the Fox will probably come to Europe soon.

Hmmm... no comment. I can't say I like these, but then, I'm probably a bit biased... my mom used to own a VW Jetta, and man, I HATED driving that thing... took forever to get up to speed, and even longer just to stop again

Default Re: VW GOL/Fox

If you dont know, Gol is a 26 years old brazilian design (this version is the last face lift - I think its uggly too). Its still produced here (Brasil) and for about 15-20 years long it was a selling recordist. Fox is a new project, produced here too since 2003, I think.
