It is called Fox in its native Brazil... will be something else in Europe...

I'd call it Stoat in Europe....don't know why, just would.....

And why are they bringing back the Panda!!!!!. But I still see plenty of the original Pandas on the road-far more than the Uno.

Steve - 2002 1.4SE petrol, Silver, black/black interior, Then an identical replacement 2003 A2. Now a Toyota Corolla 1.6 T-Spirit
 
are they really killing off the Lupo?

i liked that car! it was really cool...

i don't like the front end of that Fox car, it looks like all the hundreds of other boring cars...

the lupo was distinctive...

... yes but also too girly for a man to be seen in!!!

But this Fox thing looks too generic as you say... Golf 5 shrunk in wash sort of thing... with a bit of new Polo as spice...

Lupo GTI is gorgeous to my eyes and the only Lupo I'd drive... very scarce too... and that cetnral exhaust pipe! Nice!

Off Topic...[14]

Talking of manly A2s...
[15]
Can all A2 drivers drive with a little more um... 'aggression' for want of a better word. I am sick of being pushed off the road by clowns in bigger cars that seem to think the A2 is a target![3]
No ones hassles motorcyclists, or trucks as the image is of them is someone you dont hassle.

In the 2 months I have had the A2 I have been cut up / pushed in on / held out / more times than in the 12 months I had the T4 (And that was a Volvo that BEGS to be hassled) or my crappy H reg Rover 214.

I dont know why it is? I constantly feel like the wimpy kid in school that all the bigger kids pick on - even the ones that arent bigger!

Maybe its just jealousy... bit like the new 307 ad.

Sorry I found the complete opposite after nearly 2 years of A2 driving... people intimidate cars they know are smaller and slow, ie Clios, Fiestas etc... I have never been intimidated. I find Imprezzas behind me or Volvo estates (hehehe) etc keep their distance, then when I move left, they pass in a rush and instantly hog the guy in front of me 2 inches from his rear bumper! I have found that a lot actually and it always ammuses me... most people see an A2 maybe 4 times in their lives thus they have NO idea if they could/should take it on or if they will end with egg on their face (which they usually do if I sail past them up a hill at 100mph... hehehe). So they leave me alone!!! (Or do I drive TOO aggressively? hehehe)
