    Some people are too nice though , I personally would have gone to the media and not stopped shouting until the situation was put right
    Or VW could RAISE the price of the car $5000 and all the buyers of the car would dry up and there would be no 12month delivery delay

    LATEST INFO FROM VGA RE: POLO GTI / GOLF R 2012 PRODUCTION

    Received this as part of an email from VGA this afternoon in response to my query of no production in first quarter
    of 2012. Sourced from VGA logistics and relayed back via customer service.

    This lines up with what my dealership last told me too, but who knows?

    I'll put in Aussie bogan speak so you understaand,
    Your V8 Polo GTI (straaightline only) will not get neeer a Renault Sport Clio when there are bends in the road on the way to the pub mate.

    For all others reading. A Renault Sport Clio is in a different class to a VW Polo GTI when it comes to corners.

    The Renault is in lots of different classes to the Polo...price (higher), NVH (worse), perceived quality (worse).

    So the fact that your Renaultsport Clio, in the hands of a PROPER PROFFESIONAL racing driver who also happens to be one of the country's leading stunt drivers and vehicle control experts has not been able to get the clio around a race track which, surprise surprise has corners in it, quicker than the Polo GTI means that your Clio is still quicker?

    I'm sorry but in my "V8 bogan" mind, logic is word that is part of my bogan vocabulary and when there is raw data that shows otherwise, then it must be my idiotic mindset that leads me to believe you are incorrect. Sorry dude but I looked at the Clio and yeah, it's a more involving drive but is it worth the $15k premium over a Polo GTI when you get the build quality and NVH levels of a mid-nineties Hyundai Excel?

    A very simple answer from a seemingly simple bogan mind, NO.

    R1 Crasher, I see the point of you joining this community forum is to be a bit of a superiority flog. You believe that, on the way to the pub (which undoubtedly you will drink at before getting behind the wheel of your "superior" clio and becoming a danger to the rest of us sensible road users) you will somehow be a better person than us who own polos because of your vehicle choice. But, unlike the RenaultSport forum, we here have a more diplomatic approach other than slanderous and defamatory comments and if you read the rules of the forum, then your comments are bordering on the offensive to me personally. Thankfully, I believe you are an idiot and I have a thick skin so at this point I will not report you to the moderators.

    Oh and for the record, a polo GTI has nothing on a locally built V8 and anyone who belives so (without a tune anyway) is an idiot so to draw the analogy that you did is rather daft.

    Mods, feel free to edit this but hopefully my point gets accross.
