Mk5 Polo, Interesting!
« on: 22 August 2009, 03:54 »
I know this forum is mainly Golf oriented so i'm putting this here on the grounds of comparison to the Mk6 Golf. I know obviously everyone should have seen the Mk6 Golf by now, similar to that Mk5 in that it's 'pretty' but nowhere near as mean looking as mks1-4. But who has seen the new Mk5 Polo set for release in like October or something? Here it is...

Now no offense to anyone who liked Ye Olde Polo's but I think after the first one (which I only like because it looks a bit like the Mk1 Golf) I think they kinda fell of the bandwagon for a few decades and churned out some of the (dare I say it) 'Gayest' little pieces of crap I ever did see with the possible exception of All Fiats.. Have you SEEN the Fiat 500? What. The. Hell.. Anyway! As I was saying Polo Mk 2 - 4 = Fail (personal opinion please dont be offended!), but I think with the Mk5 they've really gotten a little bit back on track, it's actually a bit of a beauty, at first glance it just looks like a mk6 Golf but it's a little bit more relaxed than that. Here's some good images I found

Rear View


So Yeah it's not a Golf but for a Polo i'd say it's pretty freakin' good lookin'! What do you guys think?

Looks like the same old crap the EU want them to spew out.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Actually, given the progressive bloat of cars over the past decades, the new Polo is much more in the spirit of the Golf 1 and 2.

I'd definitely go for it over the Golf6.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
