New Generation VW Polo spy pics...

[RhysQ]

hey all,

i've just bought the November issue of Wheels and they have a small article of the Next Gen Polo with a pic. i will take a pic and post up the article tonight unless someone else has the mag and beats me to it. from the pic it looks to be very similar to what we have seen in renderings, keeping that scirocco looking front setup, and the entire grill appears to be the honeycomb pattern, so no more group buys thanks adam!!

Cheers,
Rhys

Is that the polo? it looks massive

[VW GTI]

Yeah, wtf, it's huge.

It's like a competitor to the Tarago.

[jayjay]

that is possibly the ugliest thing i've ever seen...

edit: i'll take that interior though

[docjames]

I'd wait and see what the new one looks like 1st. Latest spy pics look a bit different to those here. Also not happy with the 1.4 motor speculated for the new GTI.

I'd much rather have preferred the 1.8TFSI motor from the A4; it will be much more tunable.

1.4TFSI can go to 150kw/290NM with a chip (which is OK) but you would be pushing its limits much sooner than the current 1.8T or the new 1.8TFSI.

i hope we dont see a new polo here soon... my lease still has 18 months to go :p

[Bukefal]

i quite like it. it has a stronger stance and looks even meaner.

[Lorenz]

If thats the final product...then what drugs are the engineers and designers on right now?? Looks shocking

[phaeton]

The size will be the same or close to the current Polo.

Agreed but unfortunately with stricter emission laws the 1.8TSI may not make the cut as VW try to take the CO2 average down.

FWIW, the production date on the current model Polo ends 31 May 2009. (According to VW hobby page anyway.)
