UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all,

I've only recently started paying attention to Polo. According to wikipedia, MkV is 2009 - present. So what is all this MkVI, VII, and VIII? Are these later than MkV?

Thanks

I noticed this too, but I've got a feeling it's going to be one of those things where people just won't budge on it!

e.g. .... people say that the mini's that were made after BMW took over aren't minis... errm, yes they are!... just they are owned by a different company!
The best bit is that most people don't know that there are a FEW of the "classic mini's" that were actually made under BMW's ownership... making them wrong anyways

So yeah... I think it's probably something like minor changes (facelift?) but some people want to class it as a different "mk"

Just typed it up so there might be a mistake as it's off the top of my head, but hopefully thisll help

I keep running through the model cycles to try to work one when the facelift for the current Polo will appear and here's hopping they change the engines at this point
