Re: When is the new Polo GTI out?
I would be very surprised if a Polo R appeared. A Polo GTi Cup Edition again yes, but not an R.
I'm pretty sure VW have stated that they won't build an R model on anything smaller than a Golf. I can see the logic in this; VW wouldn't want a Polo with better peformance than a Golf, as this would essentially upset the 'performance hierachy' of the products it offers.

Re: When is the new Polo GTI out?
I don't think a new polo would out perform the new golf R. But if they built something with 200bhp and sub 7sec 0-60 to compete with the Corsa VRX and Cilo Cup I'd be very intrested.
It would also have to be well priced, no point it being £16k, I'd just buy a used S3, MK5 GTi ED30 or Leon Cupra K1

Re: When is the new Polo GTI out?
No, but a Polo R with 200bhp+, through the virtue of being lighter, would ultimately outperform a regular Golf GTi. That was what I was getting at.
If you look at SEAT for example, the new Ibiza Cupra is not quicker than the bigger Leon FR. So it would seem that VAG doesn't want a smaller car outperforming a bigger, more expensive, model.

I can understand what you're saying Redline and i totoally agree.Didn't this happen a long time ago when the MK4 Golf GTI was out then they bought out the Polo 6N2 GTI?.
