They may well. We have already had the Golf, Passat, Scirocco and Touareg R models imported to Australia. And the recently released Golf GTI Edition35
was first shown at Wothersee last year, as was the GTI Adidas the year or two before.
There has been a lot of speculation about a Polo 'R' model to tie in with the WRC. So far VW has played it down, but I think demand will be so great
that they will have to build it.
I don't follow the WRC any more - is there still an Australian round of the WRC? If so we will see the WRC Polo competing next year.
ugly thing, though I like its healthy engine output. wonder what the 0-100 time is? only the old one is mentioned.
OMG, a Polo with a 2 litre turbo GTI engine and a proper manual gearbox. I want one! So much better than the GTI or any of the R models. Possibly the
only new car in the VW range that I would actually buy with my own money. I hope they bring it here soon. The question is though, how much would it
cost? If I'm not mistaken, the Polo GTI is around the $30 grand mark, so this would probably end up at $35-40 grand? And therefore competing directly
with the Golf GTI. No contest there for anyone looking for a quick car, the Polo will wipe the floor with the Golf.
Edit: Actually, having said that, I don't really need that extra 30kW. Just give me the Polo GTI with a proper 6-speed manual for the same price as
the DSG and I'll be happy!
Yes please!
