[Vwdiesel] Lupo info

[Scott Kair]

    After digging around too long, the vwoa website finally presented me
with a photo of a Lupo, along with the helpful notation that it is not
available in North America.  Then it allowed me to pick through VW ag's
global affiliates.
    VW UK has a neat section on the Lupo, which apparently is available with
several engines we don't get.  At 60+mpg, it would seem to be worth looking
into.  OTOH, it looks like a 2/3 scale model of the Golf. Victim extraction
after a collision with a Ford Excursion would probably involve a fire hose.
The Lupo and the Polo are different models, btw.

   VW America's help line, btw, is 1-800-DriveVW, from 9a-7p Eastern, M-F,
in case anyone would care to express sincere and determined interest.
    Cheers,
