Anyone know when the new Polo will arrive in AU?

That's the one! Although dark grey is my first choice, silver after that.

Had a call from the VW dealership today. Salesperson informed me that he had pricing and info on the options/trim levels for the new polo but not car pricing

Sounds like your salesperson is leaking info he has been asked to keep quiet

New polo is going to sell like hotcakes, I would not be surprised if it took away from golf buyers due to being great value!!! I've already told my dealer to put one aside!

[Buller_Scott]

yes its going to sell like hotcakes.

i just really really really hope they dont skimp out on the diesels and only bring in the lower power models.... 77kw and 250nm as stock, please. if they have fmic and 280mm brakes as standard, im going to cry tears of joy.

sunroof+sports seats+leather [which is what i'd be after] will be exxy coin, though.

I think the TDI will have the 66kw version. From the UK site the most power TDI is the 66kw version. Hmmmm... 2 secs slower to 100 than the 1.2L TSI and no DSG from the looks of it.

The 1.2TSI is the one to get... apparently 96kW from a reflash only!

.......... and no DSG from the looks of it.

I have been told by a reliable source that the diesel will have the DSG.

[dave_r]

I have been told by a reliable source that the diesel will have the DSG.

That matches what I've been told. But until the launch who knows!

[Buller_Scott]

hmmm if its the 66kw version, and if my current polo tdi is written off [small chance, due to crash last week], i dont think i'll want the 66kw version.

and #%&# me, no manual?

[FJ Steve]

Pretty sure the DSG is an option.

I will enjoy showing new Polo owners that the 1.8T was a powerful engine, they can show me their fuel economy. Lol
