VW Pointer?

what the hell are these things? I saw one last night in Niagara Falls (canadian side) and just felt like it was a very awkward looking car.

Looks like a Jetta grill with A4 headlights.

What’s the deal with these? and were they ever actually sold in the US, or North American at all?

Probably not sold in the US. I’ve never heard of them. Got anymore pictures of that thing? It looks ugly.

Hmmm strange looking car, Ive never seen one before, Im sure they dont sell em here because with the golf for sale I doubt they would sell too many.

sold in mexico and other parts of the world

Half escort,half VW.eek

Euro Escort at least though.

Still I picture it breaking in half, then randomly catching fire from an electrical issue.

sucks when a car has to be half escort to not totally blow.
