What is a Volkswagen Fox NOT?

The VW Fox is built on the BX platform from Brazil.  It is not related to the A1 Jetta, the VW Derby or Polo or the Audi Fox.
The VW Fox, as sold in North America, has been sold under different names across North and South America - Voyage, Gol, Parati, Saveiro, Polo, and Gacel.

Here are some cars that are often confused with the VW Fox, either because of looks or because of the name:

	Car		Picture		Info
	Audi Fox	1974-1979			The Audi Fox (and the VW Dasher which shared the same platform - B1) are essentially precursors to our VW Fox.  They are slightly larger than the VW Fox, but share the same engine orientation (longitudinal), and the transmission is the same as in the VW Fox.  Furthermore, the exhaust manifold, engine mounts, brakes and other parts are useable on the VW Fox (Thanks to David for the info!).  In Europe, the Audi Fox and VW Dasher were called Audi 80 and VW Passat.  Aside from the name "Fox", the Audi is a different car.

	Volkswagen Derby	1978
		1978			This beautiful and modified Derby is owned by Arnaud Kornmann in The Netherlands.
	Volkswagen Polo	1985			The Volkswagen Polo as pictured here, was sold in Europe throughout the 1980s.  It is in no way related to our North American VW Fox.  The Polo has a transverse engine and is based on a different platform.

	Volkswagen Polo Fox	1985	Pictures coming soon		I believe this is an edition of the VW Polo wagon.  Please e-mail me if you have info and/or pictures of this car. Please do not confuse this car with the 1993 VW Fox Polo that was sold in the USA.
	Volkswagen Fox (South Africa)	.			In South Africa a car called Volkswagen Fox was sold, but this was essentially the same car as our North American A1 VW Jetta (197?-1984).  The main differences are the engine options and the headlights.  The only relation to our Fox, is the name; it has nothing to do with the BX platform of our Fox.
	Volkswagen Jetta	197?-1984			A few people have approached me and asked "why is the engine longitudinal in your Jetta" at 2 different Volkswagen shows (no joke!).  The overall shape of the Fox is vaguely similar to the A1 Jetta, so some people confuse the two cars.
