I just got a book called "Volkswagens of the world ".There are many VWs that have never been available in the states.Very interesting book .VW of Brazil made a car called a "Gol" from what I can tell, it is basically built on the same platform as a Fox.It originally came with an air cooled flat 4 and eventually could be had with a 16V. Who knew? Chris Jung <palace_master@yahoo.com> wrote:
Hey Everyone, Has anyone noticed the strange VW models
that they offer in South Africa? I was visiting there
around 2 years ago, and they make new Rabbit A1 cars
there. I rented one and it had a carburetted 1.6
motor in it! I was surprised that I had to pull a
manual choke knob in a brand new car. They call the
Rabbit 'CitiGolf.' They also still make the Rabbit
pickup (Caddy) there! I was looking at the VW South
Africa webpage today, and they have a new Golf Estate
Car there. Just an interesting thing that I thought
I'd pass on to people. I don't know if they sold
Sciroccos there, or not. I have an ex-girlfriend who
lives there, and she knows I drive a Scirocco. She
likes my car, but she's not too knowlegeable with car
models.
