    They nailed the proportions so well on the last model that the newest seems a little inbred.
    Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII
    Daily: 2010 VW Jetta Highline
    Gone but not forgotten: 08 Polo GTI

    It will be the Hyundai Veloster that upsets the Polo GTI sales this year.

    MK4 GTI - Sold
    MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
    MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.

    Its 170 kgs heavier than the GTI at 103kw...no competition against the Polo GTI mate.

    What about the Veloster Turbo? 150kW and 265Nm.

    Also the normal Veloster Manual is 1230Kg and the Auto is 1265Kg, with the Polo GTI being 1189Kg the difference in weight is 41-76Kg.

    Take a look at Hyundai Aus, they aren't offering the Turbo only the Veloster and Veloster +

    Thats because it isn't out yet anywhere. Its coming 'Late 2012' and Hyundai Aus have confirmed they're bringing it here. Mind you with the FS + model with Auto asking for $29K w/o on-roads, Im thinking the Turbo would be at least 5K more

    With its Wheel base and width...it seems more likely a Golf Challenger...not the Polo.

    The real Polo threat is the Fiesta ST.



    If this comes out, i may jump off the VW wagon...
