How many of these are photoshops?

There's a lot of VW info at www.stern.de

Here's the polo related stuff that I've found so far:


We'll start with the most :shock:'ing:

This is either real, or a really good photoshop - the rear wheel might be a bit out, though. Also, the rear view mirror is taller than it should be (as if the windscreen's been stretched vertically).

Then the one we all hope is true (and have probably seen before):

The more I look back at this:

the more convinced I become that it's got nothing to do with the 9n (despite what people say) - lupo doors, sills, front valence, wheels, etc. If you look at the vw badge and light they look like they've been stretched to make it appears the same width as a 9n. And where are the clouds through the windscreen?

This one's interesting, though:

The text seems to be saying that it's real - was prepared for VW by Skoda and rejected by VW. I can see why - it has to be most uninspired attempt at a cabrio conversion I've seen. Let's hope it doesn't see the light of day.

(Normally on a day like this, I'd be off, hooning round the B-roads down my way in my polo. Alas, I'm stuck with this hire corsa. Not the same. At all. :cry: )

If anyone was using photoshop to tailor a Polo, why the hell would you make it look like that. To say its ugly is an understatement.

Sadistic tendencies?

Maybe it's that colour and shape so it can be used as a motorway scamera van that, when parked side-on the to road, can be mistaken for a motorway sign!
