Or this car at the Frankfurt airport... not sure if it's an Up or a Polo?  Sorry, no controversy from my trip to Russia... other than my first of three flights today leaving Sochi. we got on the air berlin charter and the pilot apologized saying they'd been waiting two hours but the airport couldn't figure out how we'd load?

The truck is called  an AMORAK
The car is a Lupo the predecessor to the UP!
A smaller version of the Polo is what the Lupo was. (Replaced by the UP!)
Was looking at getting an Amorak as my next work Truck Here in (CH) Switzerland.

I believe that's Amarok. My brother {VW Canada} sent me photos a few years back of a few iterations of it. As I had ran thru 6 Syncros, {2 Tri-star Syncro Dokas', 1 Synco only Doka and 3 vans} and knowing they would soon be discontinued I put off selling my Bordeaux Red Tri-Star and only sold it on "promise" from Bro that the new, (at that time} iteration of the transporter would offer the VR6 and syncro. Well the Eurovan didn't pan out and I had to go back to domestic "work trucks". Then he sent me photos of this one. They are overseas, Australia and, I believe, in South America now, and have been for a while.
