"Cast your mind back to the 1980s – an era of glitz and glamour and a staple for the automotive world. Cars from this timeline remain iconic to this day and there’s no greater throwback to a bygone decade than this Volkswagen Pickup LX, also named the Rabbit Pickup, the Caddy and the Golf Mk1 Caddy. That’s a lot of alternative titles, but it’s fitting for a vehicle with so many distinct options to choose from. While the “LX” variants sport unique trim levels, the VW Pickup offered a wide choice of various petrol and diesel engines depending on whether you were buying it in North America or Europe, and because the numbers naturally differ based on your spec, there are no consistent performance metrics. Luckily for you, Forza Horizon 5 has all the options you need to customize this compact pick-up truck to your liking, so you can make it as fast or economical as you please. The 1.7-liter engine was built for high fuel economy. It had a gear labeled E, for Economy."
