So this will be coming with the May 2005 facelift, then. Nice...

Squinting really hard, it looks pretty much like the picture we already had(certainly the lower valance), but the grille's now lost the chrome(?)

crucial question is, is there any sign of xenons?

probably not, All VW new releases seem to be an amazing disapointment.

21.4hp @ heart, 13.8hp @ feet - 1/4 mile = 1min12sec with a 0.8 reaction time

In my opinion, the 1.6 16v FSi Turbo is a good engine. If it really has 170HP I think it's enough (for me), and being a 1.6 FSi sure it will has low consumption. Also, being a Turbo engine will have a nice torque. So, in my own opinion, it is a very balanced engine.
Anyone here can take a scan of that article and post it here? It looks very interesting.

Will that be the first FSI engine with a turbo then? I *think* all the current FSI engines are just NA. I might be wrong, though...

Deek.

Well, the upcoming Golf GTi will have a FSi Turbo engine too.

Hopefully it will rekindle the small turbo car market. ooh how i love RSTs and GTTs!

and the figs are a little personal joke, at YCs next Pod meet i'm running up the strip against Mr Boosts (josh knows him

) 600hp Supra. He joked that i could run faster up the strip that my car so i plan to prove him right

Hmmm -- bit dangerous to have the cooling water and wiper fluid fillers *right next* to each other like that - and with the same colour caps as well!! Hopefully most GTI owners will care enough to understand the difference, but then again...

Deek.

That engine looks and sounds like it will do the job nicely in the Polo.

I don't think anyway will confuse the caps unless they are asleep

I honestly can't believe anyone would be that stupid though

Bet they would soon know after they were scalded with burning hot coolant as well!

Don't underestimate the car illiterates.

I know someone who has recently ruined her Corsa by filling the engine up to the brink with water, believing that the oil filler was in fact the cooling water filler.

Saying all this, and all the previous hype about the new Polo GTI, I am sure it will be something special...

Won't it..?!
