Polo GTI + US market = Instant Sales
VW salesrooms are deserts here. If they'd like traffic and sales volume to keep the distribution channels open (you can't service 10 year old Golfs forever), they need something to spark the brand to life again. VW's "sporty" imagery was invented virtually overnight with the original Rabbit GTI. To miss the opportunity to do it again with the Polo platform is hugely short-sighted.
Beautiful design... I think the three door goes well with the more conservative look of the new polo & the golf 6... 5 door seems to be not as attractive...
Beutiful little car, should sell well. Hopefuly they will release a GTI some time with the 1.4 TSI 180PS from the Ibiza Cupra, would be a real pocket rocket!
