Re: New Polo GTi

It seems a little odd that VW are enlarging the engine size of the Polo, where as other manufacturers are downsizing, but if they are gong to enlarge, let's go straight to a 2.0 tsi :twisted: That would be fun :twisted:
Maybe that's what the R will get? Seeing as the S1 has the 2lt, it shouldn't ...
