Ritey Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well the white one in the first pic, and the black in the bottom pic I'd say were definatly Polo's whether they are the "Gti's" I wouldn't like to guess, but looking at the plastic, I'd hope not, but then look at the Golf GTi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Looks a lot like the Golf GTI [/ QUOTE ] Not a bad thing then... A bit too much plastic on the back end of the white one, but looks neat from a distance, esp. in black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I do quite like the look of the black one. Its just a shame its getting the older 1.8T 150bhp unit and not the new 1.4 superturbo TSI unit. I just hope they get the ride/handling compromise better than the SEAT Ibiza FR/cupra's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Nothing wrong with the 1.8 block, at least its been heavily tested and is available to go 225bhp with relative ease, I can't wait till Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Apart from the much better torque from the 1.8T. Put your foot down at 3K rpm in 3rd gear in a 1.8T or drop a gear in the 1.4ST will probably how it will go when you're driving it. Still like the car though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 That looks evil from the front with those blacked out headlights and the Golf GTI style front grill Hints of R32 and GTI with the ally pedals, steering wheel logo and dash trim. Neat. Very neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGa Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 im not normally keen on the colour red.. but the polo makes it seem soo good! I agree with mook.. the front looks meaan! The red stitching on the steering wheel is a nice touch. However.. the design on the seat.. is a little dated. And the whole layout of the speedometer is reely flat! On the older models it was reely sporty with the chrome outline. Overall.. really nice car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 a bit more info [ QUOTE ] On October 19th Volkswagen will introduce the new Polo GTI during a world premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show. With 110 kW / 150 hp it is the strongest Polo since the series was first introduced thirty years ago. The exterior and interior of the powerful compact deliberately bares a resemblance to the legendary Golf GTI. The Polo GTI will be available in select markets starting spring 2006. The price in Germany will be: Euro 18,950. The GTI trade name is one of the best known brands in the automotive world. In 1998 the last GTI debuted in connection with the Polo. It was 125 hp strong and 205 km/h fast. Now 150 hp and a maximum speed of exactly 216 km/h are reached. Further cornerstones of the new Polo GTI: The 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 8.2 seconds, 229 Nm maximum torque (at 1,950 rpm) and 7.8 liter average fuel consumption. Just as with the Golf GTI, Volkswagen has equipped the new Polo GTI with a turbo motor and intercooler. Because: if it says GTI it should have the real torque moment characteristic. The Polo GTI features a 1.8 liter five valve-four cylinder providing a potent push from the torque as well as excellent elasticity scores. On board the Polo GTI the fourth gear acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h takes a mere 7.5 seconds. Outside the Polo GTI as well, but it isn't half as much fun. It a fact that the new Polo GTI is a consistently sporty and safe automobile with extreme crisp driving features and a GTI specific exterior and interior. Look at the exterior: the front of the 'little' GTI displays the typical radiator grille theme of the 'big' GTI - black, v-shaped, upper air entry with honeycomb shaped protection grid. The dual headlights are cased in black, just like the standard equipped fog headlights in the outside air vents. It is no secret that these GTI insignias work best with black, silver or white and most perfectly with red paint. Red are also the front and rear break calipers of the firm gripping wheel disk brakes. The 16 inch alloy wheels, in the style of the Golf GTI, with their five u-shaped openings, look like a stroboscope and make the calipers stand out - even at full speed. The wheels come in the format 205/45 R 16. The tires lunge deep into the wheelhouse; the sport chassis (with standard ESP) is 15 millimeters deeper than the standard derivate. Black side skirts visually underline the dynamic chassis design. A self-confident rooftop spoiler (with integrated third break light) above the hatchback provides optimum propulsion ratings on the rear axle. Far below that is the chromed plated double exhaust pipe which really looks sharp. The interior is also in the style of the GTI. As always, the new Polo GTI is equipped with special sport seats and the classic checkered design 'Interlagos'. Sports steering wheel, gear shift knob and covering as well as the handbrake grip come in leather. A metal type surface visually and sensually enhances the middle console as well as the side vent openings in the cockpit. Fine points such as the red cross-seams on the interior of the steering wheel as well as the red edges of the otherwise black seatbelts show a great love to even the smallest details. The metal embossed shift scheme on the gear shift knob and aluminum foot pedals fit perfectly into the picture. One doesn't have to miss anything in the Polo GTI just because it's sporty. As usual the operation is perfect, the quality high, the cargo area large (270 to 1,030 liters) and the rear bench flexible (1/3 to 2/3 including foldable seatback). Apart from the tried and tested chassis, a soothing level of passive security is also provided by the front and side airbags; the passenger airbag can be de-activated. Volkswagen in Japan: The most successful importer for five consecutive years The Polo GTI is highly anticipated by the Japanese Volkswagen dealers. Then entire series is extremely successful from Tokyo and Osaka. This holds true for the entire Volkswagen brand. Models such as the New Beetle and Golf GTI enjoy cult status. With the 'Golf GTI Cup Japan' Volkswagen Racing puts on its own racing series. In 2004, Volkswagen was the number one import brand for the fifth year in a row; nearly every fourth new foreign car in Japan was graced by the VW logo. With the brands Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Volkswagen, the Volkswagen AG represents the strongest automobile corporation among the importers.
