Pocket Rocket Polo R on the way??

<< < (3/4) > >>

Im a bit dissapointed with the new polo gti plans a 1.4 engine producing 170bhp is stupid. Small engine big figures just doesnt make sense. I know they are tested and the technology is there etc etc but it just doesnt seem right! lol

Now this polo r had me excited, i thought wow its gona be a de-tuned 2.0tsi or something that with a little jiggery will be same figures as a remapped golf gti. 2 or 4 wheel drive that would have been brilliant. But no.

Thats if this has any foundation of course. But the 1.4 super/turbo charged put me off. I feel like many cars at the moment I have the last of the goodens. I currently drive the 1.8T Polo GTI revo'd to 225bhp and love it. So i think il cherish her whilst iv got it then look towards the ranks of s3's ed30's and that sort of band

Anyone else notice a normal polo gti will set you back £18k for a base model. i thought the mk5 golf gti was around £20k when it first came out. so basically the polo is the new golf :surprised:.

come again...18k, you have got to be joking.  idkick my own ass before i shelled out that much money for a polo, what are VW playing at with their pricing.  And they wonder why skoda have massively outsold them

Personally i think vw have blown it abit this year. I think the new golf gti is brilliant, ticky60 on here is my boss and i see his everyday and have been out in it. thats in the mid 20's. This golf R isnt all that much of an improvement on power (its basically an s3) but ur looking at 30k+ (a revo for the gti sees 270-280bhp and thats only £500!!)

and now, like you say, the polo gti's are a 1.4 170bhp car at 18k!! they should have made the Golf GTI using the R's engine dropped the R or had something abit special lined up for the future (golf w12 haha) and made the polo gti around 200bhp!

Thats what i thought, it says it at the bottom of the link £18k for a 3 door polo gti :scared:

Its not asif they need to bump prices up to try make the brand more up market because thats what they have Audi and Bentley for isnt it, so i really done see what they're trying to do apart from tred on Audi's toes. It just doesnt make sence to me :confused:
