New Polo Gti (2008/09)

[VEEDUB69]

What do you think guys?

[Kai]

Dont like the front.

But i suppose by the time its realeased it will look okay.

[Rocket]

Aside from the 2 artists impressions being completely different, i would say that they are just 2 artists impressions, thats all. The front view looks okay IMO, the rear view a bit korean, not liking it. But neither is official, so its not my prob. Hopefully though, the new polo won't be released too soon in Australia, keep the value of my pogo as high as i can

[SOHC]

naaaaa...no way it would look like that I reckon
impression from the French Clio??

I have often wondered how you go cleaning hard bugs off those chrome fronts without tarnishing the finish.
Looks reasonable but plain at the rear?

It does look like the Clio 197 a bit I think...

[phaeton]

Luckily its pshop

Expect next Polo to ape Fiat Grande Punto, Opel Corsa, Peugeot 207 in styling and size etc.

The front looks a bit "bling"

Prefer the current design.

[briseos]

That is NOT a VW

Guys, take a look at that car a little closer - some bunny has photo-shopped the front end of the EOS onto the Fiat Punto 1.9TDi Sport - have only changed face and mirrors with some scaling, wheels are exactly the same....

whaddayareckon?? a little leg-pulling going on there!

[poloplayer]

No thanks. Leave chrome for the R's, the GTIs are all about subtlety

[Ben_GTI]

Don't care how much the photo-chopped it, its still nasty.

[VEEDUB69]

Never said they were photos of the 'actual car' but still interesting, the second photo I wasnt sure about either it said Polo but I wasnt convinced, the first photo I reckon could be closer to the genuine article, we'll see I guess

[Babee J]

I'm actually against the back end... i think it's really plain and lack lustre... The front looks a little overkill but not bad... There are apparently some photo's of the new gold gti too and the front lights look almost identical.

My question is why have VW pushed forward the release of the mk6 golf gti and obviously looking at doing the same here with the polo... From what I've read, it seems to be to cut costs and reduce the time in build (currently takes ages because of the detail around it).

[DaveMack]

I suppose the current models ...

... have been around a couple of years now ... but I wouldn't have thought they'd nearly 'milked' the market yet (judging by delivery waiting lists and popularity ratings).

Ben .. tell 'em to hold off another couple of years.
