...featuring a VW up! Reasons it's annoying: - it's not retro - the photos are massive- there are only two photos Nevertheless, as this little VW has been doing the rounds this week, I thought it may be of interest.   I don't know about you, but I reckon that's pretty awesome. |

I reckon it's pretty awesome too.
Then again, what doesn't look amazing on M Technica Turbo rims?

I am more interested than annoyed  That does look nice, they're a good-looking little car as it is and the wheels definitely help. And it's cool seeing a little slice of the Japanese VW scene. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

I really want one of these, along with the GT86 the only 2 moderns I'm really a fan of. So much potential for awesome.

All of those Ups look pretty fantastic!
Not too keen on the rear wheels/arch combo of the last white one though.

Think it made its debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon this year, seemed to go down well, it featured in a lot of the reports. Looks full on amazing in my opinion. Edit: I think I'm wrong on both counts, it was the Osaka Auto Messe and it was a totally different pair of cars.   |

Oddly, that's the only one that's been fixed of the VAG 'wheel moving forward when lowered' syndrome. Because there is so much space between the wheel and the sill, I think it should have the VAG 'wheel moving forward when lowered' (tm) syndrome un-fixed. Just on car though oddly. Wonder what was done different? |

Wonder what was done different? I think its because its been photographed with a wide angle lens which is accentuating the gap. It doesnt look that bad really. The one with gren wheels appears to have been 'fixed' to some degree too. |

Funny that some others have commented that the Vw Up and the Gt86 are both worthy moderns. I've always stated that I would like one of each. Both cracking designs in their own rights. For me, the Up is the closest thing we now have as a relevant successor to the mk1 Golf. I can see it doing really, really well.
