The Lupo was replaced with the cheaper, larger, heavier Brazilian build Fox in 2005.

So was the 3L the only model equiped with the 'economy mode' ? Sounds a littel like the Xfi
I hope the new Fox is better than the one VW of Brazil put out in the early 80's... which turned out to be a low cost (and low quality to match) version of the water pumpers VW was selling then. I had heard that from a few mechanics, the proof has been that aside from a wrecking yard, I haven't seen one in 'no-rust' California in years, yet I still see late 70's early 80's Rabbits on the road. To think I almost bought one when VW first put them out...
