Q.Volkswagen Gives Russia A Hot Polo Sedan, Now We Want It Too!

[USER="20"]NikilSJ[/USER] I think making a limited edition, two door version of cars like Swift or Polo could also work! The dimensions could be the same, but a two door adds more sportiness to the hatchback, don't you think? Even if the car is modded with performance upgrades and with the rear seats gone and all, the car would still look cool, thanks to only two doors and could also save the fibreglass replacement costs!

Haha, I support angry [USER="18"]MotuSid[/USER]. It's sad we don't get these good cars here. Our country is just obsessed about idiotic features like chrome on the mirrors and such bollocks. It's high time manufacturers started giving these performance machines in limited numbers just for enthusiasts. They could probably do an invite-based sale or flash sale like how phone manufacturers do. It will see a lot of people, at least the truly interested ones, queueing up for these cars don't you think?

Happy me says - "Yay!" "So exciting" "You rock VW!" Angry me says - "Meh. Not too excited about this. I was excited for about a minute after seeing the photos - but then I remembered that I have experienced this feeling before, hope kept me going for a while before despair set in. This is not coming to India, let's be honest." "Good for you, people of Russia, companies think you have a better taste in cars. Good for you. Be happy with your chromed up pieces of s***, Indians - that is what you deserve."

Those stripes should be a part of standard car. Interior, again, plain but useful. Engine, detuned version of the one in Octavia and Jetta. Good enough for the Vento. This car with smoked projector headlamps and matt black rims, I am fantasising.

Love the stripes. It would go well with blacked out rims. The interiors are very umm, Volkswagen-ish. The exterior design also looks smart. The exhaust tips look sporty, without being too showy. I don't understand the concept of Tartan seat. They always manage to look funny to me. I prefer normal upholstery.

[/LIST] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n11337[/ATTACH] [U][B]What is it?[/B][/U] Volkswagen Russia is all set to introduce a hot version of the VW Polo sedan (a.k.a VW Vento for India) dubbed the VW Polo GT sedan. The performance-oriented sedan is power by a 1.4-litre TSI engine with a power output of 125PS. Paired to a either 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic gearbox, the Polo GT sedan promises to be a cracker of a car. Sadly, this version may not make it to our country as there isn’t a substantial demand for high-performance sedans. [U][B]Exterior in pictures[/B][/U] In terms of design, the VW Polo GT sedan looks like a regular Vento sedan sold in India bar a few changes.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n11339[/ATTACH] The Polo GT sedan also gets a subtle boot lid spoiler and dual exhaust pipes.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n11346[/ATTACH] The equipment list includes features like automatic climate control, power windows for all doors and heated front seats as Russia can get quite cold you know :p.

[IMG]http://www.zigwheels.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=4227&d=1454571196&type=full[/IMG] So do we want it or not? I'd say bring it Volkswagen, at least as a special edition variant.
