Polo AWD

[pologti18t]

How do you fit AWD under the POLo when it has a basic beam axle?
Unless they decide to fit a complex independent setup for one AWD model then I dont see it happening.

Unless.... they fit a basic live axle (non-independent) and make a small AWD SUV based on the Polo. That is probably more likely.

Cross Polo

I have a Cross Polo but it's a 1.6 version

Yeah ... I'm not into it. Glad I got a late model 9N3.

Bigger pic here.

btw what do you guys think of the next generation polo aestheticaly. I'd go with the 9N3 over it anytime even if it was AWD. I don't know if the renderings are accurate and whether the GTI would look any better (more aggresive)

yeah i much prefer the 9N3 over the "new" shape. it's looking very much like a cheap japanese styled car....very much lacks the character of the current shape.

ATM the CrossPolo in most world markets run TDI with a raised suspension. No AWD.

The next gen will have at least 1 AWD model. Might be the GTI, might be the next CrossPolo. Lets hope its both or at least the GTI.

Will be VW's lightest AWD and probably the quickest ....... (with some tuning help)

Ahh, my mistake...I just saw Polo and AWD, and started dreaming...

Couldn't be that hard to get a longer drive shaft made up and balanced!

MMMMM...I wonder if that driveline will fit under a GTI....

Does anyone know when the next gen polo is coming out? I keep hearing different dates from different sources, some 2009 (end of this year?) some say end of 2010. It worries me as im getting mine's ariving end of the month but then again im not really amused by the what ive seen (renderings of the new polo)
But back to the awd, damn they would be true rockets

Releasing overseas mid 2009 we get it early 2010 or later

thats the Polo Cross (similar setup to the Suzuki SX4, small 4x4), i saw heaps of them when i was in france. i'm pretty sure thats all they would put out in our Polo line here, and i think they are only available in TDI. someone correct me if i'm wrong
