The 2008 Polo

Post by dxg »

Some info is slowly starting to become available on it...

Such as this:

At first glance, this looks like the 9n3 with a chrome grille surround, but note the difference in the DLO, particularly above the rear wheel arches, and the raised bonnet.

I thought it was supposed to be in a mini-mpv format, though... I'm not very confident about this accuracy of this photoshop.

And back to the Polo...

Looks like it's the same sort of size as the Golf - odd.

The new Passat has moved up a group, it's larger, has more options, and the new Jetta has followed course, it's bigger than the outgoing Bora, and nearly as large as the previous Passat was!

So I guess it sort of makes sense for the Polo to get a little bigger, leaving the Fox as the supermini option in the range?

that polo looks slightly golf+ ish! raised bonnet etc.

so if the fox is gonna be the supermini, whats gonna be the supersuper mini! i.e if they are all going up in size, are they gonna bring out a car smaller than the fox?

rocco looks the nuts!

Right, thought I'd quickly update with this:

^^^

This is a rumoured Audi A2 Coupe*, and we know that the A2 is now going to be added to the PQ35 plaftorm alongside the existing Fabia, Polo, Ibiza applications. So, if the platform is capable to producing a coupe deriavtive, what will it offer the mainstream in terms of hadnling -- it's got to be good, surely? 8)

* Although it looks more like the A3 in terms of proportions and bears no resembance whatsoever to the previously-circulated next-gen A2 photoshops.
