Why doesnt the Polo Gti have the 1.8T badge on it

So when people buy a holden with the 6.0 V8 should they argue with the dealer..

why are you putting a displacement badge on my car, holden only sells the 6.0V8?

Sorry it's a 6.2L V8 now and still doesn't have enough power for the displacement.

Because the car would be badged in other ways i.e. SS, HSV, R8 etc to distinguish it and it's engine size.
The commonwhore doesn't only come in a 6L V8 hence why it has badges.

Everyone in this thread except for you realises that there is no need to add a 1.8T badge and now you are branching out of the VAG products into other cars to try to justify your point.

Sorry I assumed we were still talking about the top of the range cars.

Because VAG are inconsistent.. some models get them...some dont.. They flip a coin to decide.

With regard to the SS, they have SS badges on them so why the displacement badge? all SS's come in the 6.0V8.

likewise for HSV.. all HSV come with 317kw so why announce it?

I have never seen a displacement bade on an SS commodore ever.
The only badges i have seen are the 257 and 308 badges from previous models to show power levels.

Jesus that badge is tiny

I have never even seen it before, it's smaller than the indicator.

Why don't you email VWA and ask why the Polo GTI doesn't have a 1.8T badge on it?
I still don't see the point of it.
