Dream Car:
Volkswagen Lupo TDI This site is in German
Or visit Volkswagen France. The British site is really slow.
Volkwagen's smallest car that the make. Unfortunately, this car is not available in North America. It is called the three-litre Lupo, not because it has a three liter engine, but rather it gets 3L/100km. Maximum speed 165 km/h. 1.2 litre three cylinder engine with 61 hp.
