I have something in mind, the first will be the stalks (Polo restyling) if possible.

My local dealer is on 'orders' to call me back once the new brochure/spec is available - the bhp increase on the BlueGT sounds nice, but I can't find anything on mpg changes, beyond that it's subtle differences from the previous version from what I can find.

I'm really hoping to see Dynaudio options hit the Polo too, there was one image online showing the Dynaudio logo on a Polo 2014 head unit so fingers crossed!

On the outside the changes are very subtle... But it's on the safety side VW have given the Polo a boost toward Golf standards.

That said, it's nothing I'm gonna wish i had gotten on mine... I have driven for 16 year now just fine without most of those safety features. :D
(wouldn't mind the extra 10 bhp though. :lol: )

You can configure a new polo on the German vw site and also download brochures

From these photos the changes to the higher models are less obvious. The body kits are the same so it's just lights and interiors which are changing.

They don't have all the options listed either.

The Geneva pictures show the Blue Motion with the current Polo bumper, the R Line has a Gloss back lower half and new upper grill, the new alloy wheels are nice. The Blue GT again has a new lower bumper insert. Revised rear light clusters and minor tweak to the bumper. It would be hard to detect the changes unless you knew the Polo well, had a look at the German site and played with some of the new and quite nice options.

At least it does not make an existing owner feel like they have an out of date car, certainly my Match Edition my not have the fancy new Golf Esque infotainment system, but there is little to make me want to go out and change tomorrow...

I would love to see the pictures from geneva all in one place. Can't seem to find a collective of all the new models?

One of the pics of the head unit in the R-Line car on Autoblog definitely looks to be either running Android (with Chrome) or is mirroring a smartphone screen... if the latter, then that's damn cool.

Well I've got a Sony Z1 Android phone, so I'd be happy! Not that I can afford one. But MirrorLink is pretty cool tech. I'd certainly rather have MirrorLink over expensive built-in satnav, as you can buy apps that include the whole of Europe for £50. On my old Nokia Lumia (with Windows Phone 8) you could download as many countries as you like for free, the only restriction being space on the device! I don't think MirrorLink is on WP8 though, unfortunately, because that really simple UI would be perfect for a car.
