Poking Around VW's foreign website

I got this start originally from NASIOC in this thread:

So in Canada you can buy the 05 era Jetta (A3?) as a brand new car. Further links showed this:

In China you can buy the early 90's Jetta (A2?) with a restyled front end

However, this takes the cake IMO.

In South Africa, you can buy a brand new Rabbit pickup. (A1?)

Or you can buy a brand new 80's era (A1?) Rabbit.

Yeah, I knew about that...becaust most of them were Taxis. I just never knew they made the Jetta/Golf still.

They also make a version of the Nissan Sentra called the Tsuru in Mexico.

Oh wow...Nissan builds a pimp oldschool truck in South Africa as well.

The 1400 Bakkie



It's like the old school Datsun. Look at the wheels alone

that is one thing i noticed when i was in south africa, they either had brand new, upscale cars, or old style crappy cars and vans. i saw several of those nissan trucks and a lot of vw's. our guide, my mom, my sister, a friend from england and i rode around in an old vauxhall corsa. this thing was smaller than a civic hatch and had a tiny back seat. i am just thankful i never had to sit bitch.

I want a Nissan Bukkake!


I wonder if we could import one of those? I mean, if they're identical to previous US models, we should be able to... I wonder if they have updated emissions controls, or if they're the exact same cars that we had in the 80s...

I know one year in Japan they re-released limited numbers of the late 80's Lexus ES300

They should resurect a few cars like they're doing in a few home markets.

Anyone want to start a petition for a re-release of the 4thgen?

[Prez808]

Imagine if Honda did that?

They have. The 2nd gen Legend was sold to Daewoo, and the 5th gen accord to Isuzu. I think they made some 5th gens after 97.

[growguy]

http://www.honda.co.uk has some cars i would like to own, thats for sure. no throwbacks though.

turbo diesel accord (tsx) anyone?

The City Golf and the City Jetta are just a carryover from the previous body style, available in Canada.

I hear about VWs all day at work and what piles of shit they are selling in the US and Canada. Whee.
