Brazilian market VW clutter.

That's a longitudinal motor.  I didn't watch all the video, but that'd be interesting if it's RWD.

there front wheel drive cars.
They are all over brazil, every 3 or 4 cars is a VW gol. Alot of them are turbocharged seeing as they are small engines (1l, 1.2,1.4,1.6). The 1.6 turbo can be very very deadly! Saw one pulling away from a set of ligths one night and i was just stunned  :shocked: they are immensly quick!

It should have been name a Polf, or a Golo, or a Polfo! I wonder how much it would cost to import one? Replacement for the G60 perhaps? (I am talking generally, not mine!)
