- No the current Fox is a VW do Brazil design. I don't remember what they
- were called. They came out in 79/80ish. (I'm not sure when, but they were
- all over the place when I was in Brazil in 83) In Brazil they have several
- body styles not seen here. There were also some built with type I engines.
- (yes, an aircooled bug engine in a FWD car!) However the VW that really
- caught my eye in Brazil was a 2 seat type IV that looked like a cross
- between a 412 and a Dino. I only saw one, but I understand they made
- several tousand.
