Define ‘shortly’
Sorry I have done my comment again it should read:-
I agree the Citigo is great value for money, but us British will pay £500+ to have a Volkswagen badge, even though Skoda came out top in a recent customer satisfaction survey

Excellent to see the Citigo get right up close with the up! Will be nice to see if it can overtake the overpriced up! – well, they are all built in the same factory, and £500+ is a lot to pay for a VW badge…….
Cars are very heavily taxed in Denmark, the cheapest Focus costs just under 27,000 Euros there, the UK price for the same car is just under 17,500 Euros, quite a difference, I think we are getting a bargain in comparision, also discounts are fairly generous here as well.
The country of midget cars!
