Lupo GTI

Any super remote chance of these in the U.S.? I suspect not, due to market, crash regs and emissions

I was a bunch of these running around in Zurich, I think think THIS is what the Golf GTI is meant to be... :-) Still, it reminded me of a super boxy mini, but not as COOL as a mini-

Wonder about the specs on that GTI.
Heard the VW LUPO is around 60hp, 3cyl diesel, that gets somewhere around 75mpg.
Also heard that VW LUPO isn't in North America due to it's lack of power and small size.
