Small margins yes. But they will get people into the VW brand that will potentially buy other VW’s when they are ready to trade up. Currently there is nothing that seriously interests me in VW’s lineup. I like the Golf GTI but it is bigger than what I would want. But If I had an Up! and ended up liking it, I would…

I love a cheap small car. It’s all that I will ever drive even if I can afford to get bigger and better cars. I even had a smart for a few years until I needed more space. I am currently deciding between a 500 Abarth or a Fiesta ST. You can get such good deals on the 500 now and it just sounds so so good.

It is not like they are designing a car from the ground up for the US market. Can it really cost that much to have it certified? It already does well on Euro crash tests so I can’t see that being the issue. I can easily see this outselling Sparks (35,511 2016 sales) and Mirages (22,226 2016 sales). They can drop the…

I still do not understand why they do not bring this car to the US. It’s not that Americans do not like small cars, it’s that Americans do not like Sparks and Mirages.

Old VW dune buggy for sure. This is my brothers. He uses it to take his wife and kids to the beach and get ice cream and so on.

My brother just finished one of these. He uses it to take his wife and kids to the beach and so on.

That is the experience with every CVT that I have driven. I can’t imagine a world where our only option is a CVT, but I think that we may be heading towards that.

I would be curious to see if there is any info on what the acceleration forces were. I remember when they came out they would always advertise that it used the crumple zones of the other car so it did not need any of it’s own. Probably marketing BS.

This video did that for me. Not to say that every small car would crash well against a larger one, but with good engineering they can be fairly safe.

I would be curious to see that. It is very unlikely that a Mirage will crash into a Mirage in the real world. They should crash small cars against larger ones so people can see what real world crashes would look like. Plus, crash videos are just awesome.

New Mirage against old Mirage? I would think that the new Mirage would destroy the old one.

Don’t fret, they still make a car to fulfill your 90's econobox dreams.

Oh that’s a good one. They should call that test the skull crusher.

I already have gotten nothing done at work today as it is! I will look for it right now!

The most scientific one would probably be the Nissan Tsuru vs. Nissan Versa crash. They were both brand new cars with one being based off of a 1990 design.

I love showing these videos to people who think old cars are so safe. The one from a few years back with a Malibu against a Chevy from the 50's is especially good.

This woman may have PTSD and possibly other issues because of this assholes poor decisions. Accidents can happen to anyone, but when you put yourself into a situation where you could potentially kill people because you are impaired then you deserve being thrown onto a highway.

I am the same way. I am driving so I can talk and have fun in the car. It is one thing if we are on an open highway but leave me alone when I am paying attention to what is going on. You can hear everything that the car is doing if you pay attention. Of course that explaines when I get into their car and ask why they…

Not an outlier at all. I think that this is the better looking truck for sure.

Only with the 1.8L V6.
