Whether we’re...

Whether we’re car drivers, bikers or bus and coach users, we each have our corners to fight and are all entitled to our say. And the same is true of truck operators. As with the rest of us, they pay a high price to put their vehicles on the road and keep them running. And judging by the amount of complaints I have heard over the years from the lorry boys and girls – about everything from low profit margins to unfair competition created by foreign-registered vehicles – I always thought they were genuinely hard-up.

Both are filled with xenon gas, which burns more efficiently (and whiter) than Halogen bulbs of the past, contributing to an increased beam range without the need to uprate the bulb wattage. PowerPlus offers 50 per cent more light and is available in H1, H4 and H7 fitments. PowerBlue delivers up to 30 per cent more light than a standard bulb whilst also giving a stylish blue tint similar to that found with the HID "Xenon" system. Also available in H1, H4 and H7. To celebrate the launch, the company"s offering a "buy one get one free deal", so two cars can be upgraded for the price of one. Shipment is free and the company"s bundling in a free pair of Philips Ultra Blue sidelight bubs, which retail at ÷£9.95 and fit 99 per cent of cars.

The mag"s images show the Fox"s wheels fitted with hi-tech equipment to measure the exact speed and rolling resistance of each tyre. And that signals VW"s intent to inject some of the excitement of the legendary Golf GTI into the bargain city car. The move follows news of the hot Polo GTI - revealed in last week"s issue - which will go on sale in UK showrooms early next year.

While the Fox is all about low-cost practicality, the Sport variant will offer a cheaper alternative to the forthcoming Suzuki Swift S. In South American markets, where it"s already a big seller, the Fox is offered in Sportline trim with alloys and a 1.6-litre petrol engine.

The Sport version photographed in the mag is thought to be a derivative of that car. However, the bad news for hot hatch fans is that the machine isn"t destined for Britain - at least not yet.

A spokeswoman for VW told Auto Express: "The current plan for the UK is to keep the Fox range simple. The emphasis will be on value for money, not filling small market niches." However, insiders reckon if enough people wanted to buy the car, that could change.

This approach will leave British customers with three engine options. The cheapest variant will be the 54bhp 1.2-litre petrol model, which will also be available in more powerful 73bhp form. The most expensive version is the 1.4-litre TDI diesel - this delivers 73bhp, too.

Prices have yet to be announced, but entry-level models are expected to cost around í‚á£6,500 when the range goes on sale in the UK in January.
