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? ![http://www.vw.net.ua/images/auto/vw_pointer_3.jpg](http://www.vw.net.ua/images/auto/vw_pointer_3.jpg) ---

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. ---

> **[Volkswagen Pointer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Pointer)** > > The Volkswagen Pointer was a small family car sold by Volkswagen do Brasil in South America from 1994 to 1997. The Pointer was available as a five-door hatchback, and the two-door coupé version, called the Volkswagen Logus, was sold from 1993 to 1996. It was based on the European version of the Ford Escort, being the result of Volkswagen Group's AutoLatina joint venture with Ford Motor Company, which also saw the Volkswagen Santana rebadged as the Ford Versailles. Although there were sheet metal ... 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.
