Yes, and it should be significantly better.

[Frik]

Proportions look good in the images. Nifty.

[johnpeat]

Take a Citroen C1

Hammer it flatter...

[Mini1275]

Looks quite good.


I like it.

It'll be interesting to see where they go with pricing. The Fox was so cheap because it was an old Polo underneath I believe, which explains the not great proportions. I guess this is a new platform.

Errrr...Up? Heated seats, climate control, cruise control, on what appears to be a small, affordable city car like the aforementioned Fox?!

[traffman]

Likes it , please let there be a Gti.

Nice, at last a proper replacement for the Lupo ( Fox was a bit crap)

Yes, the Fox used the old Polo platform and shared its engines.

The Up apparently has the MQB platform, its the first vehicle to use it, next will be the new Audi A3.

Not really sure how they'll price it, will need to be less than the Polo for it to sell, but probably not significantly so. £8500 ish maybe?

Agree, the Fox was never a true replacement for the Lupo.

Well worse would take some effort

I take it the final version is not rear engined like the original concept? So it's no longer the spiritual successor to the original Beetle.
