i'm sure one of you guys can tell me. i saw this in mexico, i think it could look pretty cool done right. i'm almost positive it was badged a VW but the front just looks so BMW it unbelieveable.

its a Volkswagen Gol (back when they were exported to the US they were called VW Rabbit) , a 5th generation model i think, with a modded front end. My dad had a 98 (4th generation) back when i lived in Brazil. They come with 1.0, 1.6 and 1.8 turbo engines, fwd. My dad had the 1.6 one and it was slow as fuck. The 1.0 cost about 15,000 reais, which is about US$5,000 brand new. They are really popular in Brazil and really really reliable.








^hehe, being Brazilian pays off lol

i dont know, getting one from mexico would be the easiest way i guess, but you would have to get it legalized

don't even bother, it'll cost you at least $10k extra to legalize it, not including shipping...it's so much of a hassle to deal with the DOT and EPA. You could bring it in for show/race only relatively cheap but good luck ever getting it registered.
