VW's multi-hued Golf was a factory offering for the flamboyant, or the indecisive.
A riff on the European Polo Harlequin, the Volkswagen Golf Harlequin mixed and matched panels in four colors: Chagall Blue, Ginster Yellow, Tornado Red, and Pistachio Green.While the Polo Harlequin was very popular, the U.S.-only Golf version was a dud. Just 264 were made, and some were soon converted to single colors.
Reaction was positive enough to justify a small run of '96 models at the company's Puebla, Mexico, plant. Like the Polo, the Golf Harlequin used the Joker fabric and four mixed colors in four specific patterns. The design was absolutely not haphazard, but that's not what buyers thought. Americans knew nothing about European special editions or the Polo Harlekin.
