And then you have shenanigans like the VW Fox sold in the USA from '86 - 
'93 that was a Brazilian Polo (which was nothing like the European 
Polo), which was kinda sorta a VW Dasher/Passat-cum-Audi Fox. 
Bodywise/suspensionwise it was (mostly) mechanically different but 
cosmetically similar, and it shared much from the VW-Audi parts bin, the 
transmission was that of the B1/B2, the engine was that of the A1/A2, 
odds and ends came from all sorts of sources. Early versions of this 
Brazilian Polo even had a Type 1 aircooled engine! How cool would that 
be to bring to a show?
