I know which one you mean, it was called VW Caddy over here and was built in
Jugoslavia, the factory was destroyed during the first part of the war,
years ago, that is why the production of these stopped. After that VW
started building a delivery type car based on the Polo.   Now VW and Skoda
now has a common pickup truck design based on the polo.

I know of a guy in the US that has installed a turbo charged GTI engine in
the old Caddy, I think he ran mid to low 13's on the 1/4mile!!!

The Taro was based on a Toyota Hilux 4X4.
