I've never heard of the VW Lupo or Polo so I looked them up. No mention of either on vw.com. Wikipedia says the Lupo was discontinued on 2005. The Polo has never been sold in the US and its popularity is steadily declining in Europe (as measured by sales figures). The Honda Fit was discontinued in the US in 2020.
- NikolaNovak 4y agoSee my other comment for usa vs world ; and names keep changing - after lupo there was fox, etc etc. But as golf grew there were always smaller models. Toyota corolla grew and was replaced by Yaris which became echo or other way around which was discontinued but then corolla got the iq and other small hatch versions. Nissan sentra grew but then we got micra etc. My whole point is forget specific names - models and Renaming aside, tiny cars keep existing.
- sundvor 4y agoAustralia: The ~2008 1.8T Polo GTI was quite the little ripper. Three door, manual, you could get an APR ECU tune that unlocked the engine's true potential - identical with and detuned from an Audi A3. So much fun in a small package, I regretted selling it later. It had full stability control and the full set of airbags, so it was an early upspec for what would later become the norm of safety features. Looks like it's still being sold now but it is no longer the same car.
