weird VW's
 

welcome to Brasil... land of funky rebadges largely due to the miserable marriage of Ford and VW in the late 80s. Do a google search for "Autolatina joint venture" if you desire more info

VW Apollo (aka Ford Escort 2 door - a Brasil only model.)





VW Pointer (Ford Escort - not to be confused with VW Gol based Pointer sold in Mexico)






VW Logus (2nd gen Apollo - another 2 door Ford Escort)






Ford Versailles/Royale (VW Santana)






so yes that's a Santana WAGON!!

that 2nd pointer is nice :)

i'd like a versailles wagon and rebadge it and rebody the front.. only 2-door santana wagon in the world

weirdo alarm!!

Man... I´m from Brazil...
But Honestly... I agree with you...
There´s some exceptions but these cars are ugly or if you´re a kind o gentleman you can call it "weird"! hahahahaha

Otti, what are the white and green one? early brasil's?

It´s a 1968 VW 1600cc
 

Well... it´s an antique and rare VW 1600 air cooled... from 1968 I guess... (on perfect conditions! impressive!) in 1970 it has been replaced by the VW TL 1600 a little bit better. Here in Brazil it was nicknamed "Zé do caixão" this is the name of one Brazilian folk charater... the meaning for "Zé do Caixão" in english is like Coffin Joe hahahahaha
"Must be the fault of the ugliness of the car!"

But even with the mixed reviews... it´s a VW classic!

4.5 golf :confused:

Canadian Golf City (not to be confused with the Citigolf)

Also a City Jetta!

Only Availible in China, Canada and South-America!







Chinese First Auto Works Volkswagen Jetta:




An Mexican build Volkswagen Kombi:



It surprised me that this one is still in production!

Volkswagen Kombi, 2010/2011 model
A 1.4L 75 BHP FlexFuel watercooled engine, also availible in the Volkswagen Fox.

Dope! :D

Omg!
 

:confused:
Hell No! What about those VW mini trucks? They are a joking right?! hahahaha

that is just to keep them rolling....this is their final destination.

these are some of the VW's i saw in Brasil:

















They're probably not weird for Lucas as he lives there, but for a VW fan from europe..... Apart from the beautiful country and perfect travelcompanions the VW's really added a special thing to my holiday.

What´s Up Tjaap
We have some VW from Europe here in Brazil too!
Some VW Corrado, some Rabbits MK1, MK2 and the MK3 (this one is easier to find)... but definetly the Volkswagen changed their car concept design to our public... here we had the first generation of cars that are "squared" and the second one that was more "rounded" (like my VW Gol "second generation")... Now I think that we are on way to get increasingly closer to German and Euro cars!
Now we have in here some Passat (cc), some Jetta, some EOS, Touareg, Polo...
Great Cars! But very expensive too!
Here in Brazil we have a lot of problems with the Government taxes (that´s the cause for the high prices)
About the car design.. I think that the most part of people in here are used with those shapes... and are always "open" for news too!
Come on! I Think that they aren´t so weird... hahaha just a little bit different... hahaha :D

Ok...
I admit

"I´m jealous of Germans and Europeans... Let´s divide this toys!" :shake: :rolleyes:

Send me a Constellation, Saveiro and CrossFox please :D

It´s Done mr. Tjaap!!!
 

All Right man!!!
We can change!!!
I wish a Rabbit MKI on BBS wheels, slammed with a VR6 turbo charged inside a cleaned bay! That´s It! Simple and objective!!!

I think it would be fair after all, I'm not so picky :thumbup: :rolleyes:
hahahahaha

Is that a Cross station / variant ?? :confused: More pictures ?

Google: Volkswagen Space Fox.

I meant Fox Station btw....

Thanx Rick !!

The yellow one looks really nice! The volks looked bigger with the modification.

How about this one?? Polo Playa, afaik a south africa only model, based (obviously) on the Ibiza.

or a 6R Sedan?

Looks like they welded a back lit of a Lupo 1.4 on an Ibiza.

I really like the original (EU) back of that car :(.

O, and have you got any more pic's of that 6R Sedan?

I have no idea what's going on here.

Sold in India as the Vento, but what the hell is it?

Same 6R Sedan you posted earlier??

damn, i guess you're right... At first glance i tought this was a 2-door

something fun showed up, build in southafrika, small numbers but no clue how many

Coachbuild? I can't imagine VW putting out something like that.

Ah.. the Polo playa actually IS the name of this model. I just thought it belonged to some wannabe OG or something hence the 'playa' bit. I reckon the pronunciation is a bit off though :D Well vamos then.... ;)

it gets better, i even started a topic on it a few years back.... :screwy: :shake:

I really don't understand why we don't have this in th EU?

FAW VW Bora

fun!

What´s Up Guys!
I´ve been out for a while but now I´m Back! :D
Honestly the VW Polo from South Africa is obviously on good shape!
SLAMMED I would say! s2
But It´s weird... FACT!
I don´t know, it seems that the designers wasn´t a hundred per cent confidents about the car shape... a little bit rounded, a little bit squared.

Sorry but...
Result: FAIL (In my opinion) hehehe
