wider for sure.

depending on how much bigger it is, and what the config of the diesel engine is, i might have to trade up.....

but i DO love the look of the current pogs back end, though. that, and it's tiny.

Really? you like the back of the current Polo? I think that's that's where the Polo definitely needs some improvement in looks. But each to their own I guess.

The Polo Mark V is 36 mm longer and 32 mm wider and sits 13 mm lower to the road than the previous generation Polo.

Just noticed that the fuel gauge looks to be an electronic display rather than a dial. If it is, I wonder if it'll go down in segments (say eighths or even quarters). We'll have to wait and see I suppose.

I heard a rumour today that they won't be releasing the GTI in Australia? -- Apparently due to poor sales. I hope that's not true.

Well if they don't release the new polo GTI here it will be good for resale value! A shame for those looking to upgrade though, and surprising as I have seen more polo GTIs than any of their competition.

Where did you hear the rumour from?

I love it when people come up with such illogical comments. If indeed it is true then poor sales = discounting = worse resale.

I can't see them discounting. They never really have in the past with the GTI (except for the non-onroad cost deals they do randomly). When I bought mine last October I had a 4 week wait because it was still in transit on a ship. So it's not like they are carrying huge stock in holding yards like Mazda, etc do. Little stock = Little reason to discount.
