Saveiro is a "Gol" based pickup since it has born in mid 80´s, it has never been derived from Fox. Only the rear lamps had been inspired on WV Arena in this new model. "OMG! what happened to VW?? it looks so cheap": It´s intencionally an entry pickup (so it´s simple and with a small engine on purpose). Diesel engines are prohibited from being installed on passenger cars in Brazil. Hi there, i´m a brazilian fan of the site.

Their branch in Ipoh has already closed. Maybe their price is not right because they want to put same level as other German marque like BMW & Merce. But most Malaysian perceive VW like those days model Beatles is for peoples car. Their price should be around Toyota or Honda, I'm sure it will a hit. Volkswagen is dying here in Malaysia.
