More powerful and cheaper to build ... I say watch this space .... 6-12months from now we will have a new top Polo powered by that 1.6T.

I disagree. I think that will be reserved for the Polo R and S1/RS1.

To what do you disagree? :confused: I did not say Polo GTI, as per my post .... top model Polo = Polo R .... yes ?

Ahhh, in that case I agree. Lol. Sorry my bad, it's just that this thread is discussing GTI so I just assumed. I will order one the day they announce this new model!

I still believe that this 1.6T engine won't see the light of day on a road Polo, just like we won't see the engine in the current Citroen DSG WRC in the DS3 road car IMO.

The engine in the DS3 is jsut the 1.6 L turbo found in alot of PSA and MINI model. No big deal.
