Is it just more, or...?

Lately I've noticed there's alot of cars on the road (around here anyway) that I didn't think were available to the US market. Here's an example of what I've seen in the past month or two: Toyota Vitz (yesterday), Renault Clio, Peugot 206 convertible looking thing (I'm not exaclty sure which model it would be), Nissan X-Trail (2), and this week I saw two Volkswagens I'm not familiar with. One was a hatchback and the other looked exactly like the hatchback except it had a truck bed. Anyways, I just thought that was kind of interesting.

Did the dubs look like these?



Rabbit and Rabbit pickup. rabbit was the first generation golf. both were sold in the US.

No. I don't think it was Rabbit. It was a pretty new car. It couldn't have been more than a couple years old.

i think you mean the 206CC its a herd top covertable

[ToplessFC3Sman]

yea, lemme get the pic of a 206 cc that i took in europe, and the hatch was maybe the VW Lupo? I know the toyota Vitz is available in Canada, ive seen them there, maybe someone just drove it down.

[spock]

Yeah. That's what the Peugot looked like, except blue. And I know the VWs weren't Lupos. I think they drove up from Mexico actually now that I think about it, considering where I live isn't exaclty that far from the border. But I never knew they sold the Vitz in Canada. Stupid Canadians. Always getting what I can't have.

That is probably what you and I saw. They sell the Echo hatchback up there, but I guess it's pretty much the same as a Vitz. Looks the same anyway.
