How can I get a VW Lupo?

Hello,

When I visited Spain I saw a nice VW Lupo which was a very nice looking cute car that we can't get here in Canada or in the US either.

How can I get one of these and fix it so its legal and bring it back home? Also the girl in the car was cute and I'd like to bring her home too but that another story. She probably wouldn't come anyhow come to think of it because she could only go to the beach about 2 weeks a year here and she would have to wear a bathing suit most places. Anyhow, does anyone else here have a Lupo in the US or Canada?

Thank you.

So which is it? The US or Canada?

If the US, visit

and look at the vehicleimportation guidelines under the regulations section. For Canada, you'll need to find Transport Canada's site and start researching there.

It better be a cool enough car to warrant the trouble and expense.

Yes, Lupo is smaller than Polo, which again is smaller the Golf.

VW has stated it has no intention of exporting the Lupo to North America. A Canadian dealer told me it was because it cannot meet the crash test standards.

You can probably import one to Canada, provided that the car is at least 15 years old. That way it is "grandfathered" in the import regulations.

Other than that, the manufacturer/importer would have to submit vehicles for a series of crash tests and other types of destructive testing in order to obtain an import license for the vehicles in question.
