Title: Up GT Confirmed
Post by: Bernhard30 on January 24, 2012, 08:18:55 pm: Just been looking on Evo website, seems the VW Up GT is confirmed for production, 1.0 Litre Turbo, 110hp.

I quite like it myself.

Hope someone can assist by putting in a link to the page.

But basic spec ones I think the Skoda Citygo looks better than the UP, especially in the green they stick on the VRS

Prefer the rear of the Skoda oover the standard UP again, but UP GT looks best

Think they start at £7995 and finish at £11995 so I've read with Skoda and Seat costing less. I think the configure option fot the UP is live on VW's site
