VW iFox iPod enabled iClown iCar

1466.jpgThis tiny two-door hatchback reminds me of a clown car. Maybe it's the paint job. Or the marketing ploy, which is that it has a hookup for, and comes with, an iPod. The iFox is only available in AustraliaAustria for the time being and goes for 9,290 Euros which converts over to $11,094 U.S. dollars.

    Goddamn this is an ugly car. It looks like a Passat mixed with a golf mixed with one of those ugly new small Chevy Aveo's. VW's gone steadily downhill in terms of design ever since 98. The new Golf looks like a Civic Si, the new Jetta has a terrible roof to windshield transition, and they keep putting those large and atrocious metal pieces on the front of their cars (and Audi's). Bring back the mothafreakin' Corrado already.

    Keebler, this car was designed in Brazil by VW-Brasil, and was ment for the south american market, where it's been doing outstanding ever since it launched. It's a sale hit in almost all south america, and it's such a solid, cost effective and nice looking car, it's being now sold in Germany and Europe as "the True Volkswagen (People's Car)". I agree, it has no chance in the USA. It wasn't ment to, anyways. That's what Touaregs are for.

    Maybe it does great down there... but I still say it's ugly.. as are the Touregs :P It may be practical and I respect it for that, but again, it just looks like an awkward combination of other cars in my opinion.
