2010 Polo revealed !!!!

[Coaster]

You dont buy a polo for a boot. Plenty of space as it is. for me anyway.

I do! (to some extent)

But I think it's just deceptive, with the rear wheels so far back, the back seats are probably further forward than the picture appears to suggest.

The stance of the car tells me straight away; it'll be awesome in the corners

[mikepologti]

i would have thaught buying a polo for the boot would be like buying a getz for performance.

[pixl]

I love it and I don't at the same time --

What I love is what they've done to the rear; the slope and they finally did something good with the lights! The overall shape is good and as said previously, the GTI is gonna look amazing.

What I don't like are the sharp lines through the panels. Let's be honest, the Polo is a cute car, making it appear more aggressive seems silly to me. Thankfully the front (while definitely more angry) isn't over the top.

[Giallorosso]

yep thats the one!! yeah GTI mode would look good for sure.

It looks like a Corolla, IMO.

[s1831559]

not too concern abt the look.

imo, gti version wont look too far from golf, therefore wont look too bad.

hoping a big improvement for interior.

and what worry me is the engine spec!

hope they keep the long-life 1.8T, or ever better with direct fuel injection.
or maybe the 2.0T

not too sure abt the 1.4 twin charge eco-engine though.
imo, it will be better as a standard car. but it will straggle to get over 200hp!

anyone know if it's getting a DSG? maybe the new 7 speed dry clutch? or good old expansive 6 speed wet type use in golf gti?

[mikepologti]

yeah ive goto agree, im not to fond of the 1.4 turbo/super charged engine either. though i very much doubt theyd keep to 1.8t with it. and as for the 2.0t i think its coming in the next r32 replacment.

[NickZ]

I am pretty sure they are phasing out standard autos and replacing them with DSGs, considering what they have done with the new golfs I would expect the next Polo GTI to have DSG.

I think it looks OK, not keen on the 1.4l twincharged, I'll save my money for the R20T

Only a few more days untill all will be revealed ...... Geneva Motor Show starts 5th March and it is the official release venue for the new Polo.

3 days and counting ......

[mikepologti]

sweet might buy a few mags, no doubt theyll cover it.very interested in the upcoming r20t.

[VW GTI]

sweet might buy a few mags, no doubt theyll cover it.very interested in the upcoming r20t.

The R20T is a golf... the launch is for the Polo.

[Roodosutaa]

think this is it - should look good in GTI mode.

OT: Whoever that wrote the article needs to go back to school and learn some proper English grammar, past-present-and future-tense... atrocious!

"New VW Polo came to the dealers in may 2009. "
"The lingering engines should cater for every penury." wtf?

Now back to the car - Not a bad looker, would love to see the two door and phew... 168hp in stock form isn't that much more than what we have now What are the tuning potentials of the TSI engine?

[Sharkie]

MK6 Golf GTI and possibly the R20T also due to make an appearance at the Geneva show .....

1.4 TSI is limited in ultimate power tuneability. Chipping it will take it to 150kw but from there on the ability extract more power will be less than with the current 1.8T 20V.

Better for the new Polo GTI would have been the 1.8 TSI engine from the A3.

[phaeton]

Polo is releasing overnight at a pre-Geneva function the VW Group are holding

So be up early I'll have all the images and press releases on the new Polo

[mikepologti]

The R20T is a golf... the launch is for the Polo.

yeah i know its a golf and probably a lil off topic, some of the convo was talking about the geneva motor show launch , my comment was about geneva in general as apposed to just the polo launch.im interested in both.

i fully agree with everyone, itll be interesting to see how much they get out of that lil 1.4 twin charge. but i doubt itll be anything fantastic.
