VW is finally aware that there is a viable market for this sub-Golf model. Viva la Polo; give me a GTI model with TSI please.

There will only be one true GTI... and it's in Golf form! The Polo version will always fall short of the larger, more solidly built Golf. Why VW insulted me (as a GTI fan) with the Polo GTI is simply down to economics and I didn't take it too personally. Pleased many didn't bother with the present incarnation: take an old car and throw in an even older engine and sell it for 75% of the Golf GTI's price. Clever buggers these at VW. Yes, the TSI engine and the new Polo will be a different story altogether.

Why not to bring the Seat Ibiza SC too , which after all is mainly the same car with a more radical and elegant design ? There is also an 'ecomotive Ibiza' edition : less emissions and lots of mpg...

Amazing. VW have sold their Polo like hot-cakes in South Africa. Nearly everyone drives one. Why amazing? They make a lotta dosh of a terribly old (8 years plus) motor vehicle. There are clearly much better cars that have come out since it's lanuch, but people are still suckers for these things. No doubt the next will be a massive improvement (revised suspension etc) but only 2010 / 2011... what I call 'milking it' for as long as possible. And they got away with it. Kudos. Why VW's making profit while many others need bail-outs.
