  Volkswagen K70 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Volkswagen K70 (pronounced as "ka siebzig" in German) is a sedan automobile produced by both NSU and Volkswagen from 1969 to 1974.
The K70 was originally developed by NSU as a smaller brother to the more famous Ro 80, the main difference being that the K70 used a conventional piston engine instead of the Ro80's more complicated Wankel rotary engine.
VW was in desperate need for a new family sedan to replace the unsuccessful Type 4, which itself was intended to replace the Beetle.

 VW Golf - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
The Golf was also a crucial model for VW itself; by the early 1970s the company was in serious financial trouble; Beetle sales were in terminal decline, and car buyers increasingly turned away from VW's quirky aircooled, rear-engined models.
VW had acquired the Ingolstadt company in the mid 1960s from Daimler-Benz, and crucially gained access to Audi's expertise in water cooled engines and front wheel drive which were needed to produce a new generation of Volkswagens.
A version of this original Golf model, known as the VW Citi, is still produced in South Africa as an entry level car.

The K 70 was VW's first water-cooled, front-engine car and helped pave the way for the later Audi 80 and VW Passat/Dasher.
In contrast to all other VW models the K 70 was only available with a manual 4-speed gearing; there was no version with automatic transmission.
It is mostly unknown that the competition between the first generation of the Audi 100 and the K70 was most likely the major reason why VW never really focussed on, even neglected the K70.

But NSU had not put all their eggs in one basket, they had designed another more conventional car with a four cylinder engine and front wheel drive.

The progenitor for the Fox undoubtedly was the NSU K70 which Volkswagen made into the VW K70 when it bought the company in 1969 and merged it with Audi.
The Fox did for VW what the K - car did for Chrysler (the comparison ends there since the K - car was much inferior) - it rescued VW.
And indeed, the design was so good that it was resurrected in 1987 as the VW Fox, a downgraded version of the original (with VW's detuned 1.8 L. engine).
