US Bound Volkswagen Polo Unveiled in the Most Unusual Way

It looks like Volkswagen has put up a billboard outside the Geneva Motor Show showing the next generation Polo. It only makes sense that Volkswagen will have the world debut of the Polo at the Geneva Motor Show which starts next week, but someone put up the billboard a little earlier than necessary. The Polo is said to be the first Volkswagen completely designed under Walter de Silva's guidance, immediately noticeable are the flared fenders. A new design element for the Volkswagen brand. Volkswagen has recently confirmed that the new Polo is definitely coming to the United States, where it will compete with the likes of the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris.

To Whatthe: You too... this is not the A3....

Tell you one thing, I have a Fit and really like it, but that Polo, will be so much more fun to drive, especially with the TFSI engine!!!

Looks promising. I do hope it will make it to US. We need some fun small cars from Europe since the Japanese turds like Yaris, Fit, Versa cannot fit the bill.

How can someone be right about the quality of a car that is not even on the market yet? I have an '07 Volkswagen Rabbit 4 Door and I have had not one issue and over 34K on the clock. Not one time has it been in for anything other than routine stuff. If you are talking about old Gen cars, then yeah maybe some did have issues, the current gen is helluva lot better then the past and the next gen will be even more so....

VW quality has been in the crapper longer than since the 1990s. It started in the 1970s and got worse for the next 30+ years. Instead of doing something about it the hard headed krauts told the US market to go suck and expected Americans to buy their crap. By 1993, VW was ready to move out of the US their sales were so abominable.
The "new" Beetle saved their butt, but quality continued to decline right into the 2000s.
I dropped VW after 25+ years of being a customer and a salesman. I never looked back. Thanks to VW I now own 3 great Nissans, including a GT-R.
As far as I am concerned VW can go the way of its founder, Adolph Hitler!
