I think that the next generation Polo will come to the US in a couple of years.

polos aren't very "fun" to drive, they handle securely but are not a blast. if this is a success maybe renault will bring across the clio, which is far better than this. the renault sport version has 197 bhp, same as in a golf gti, and it's a size smaller. renault's interiors are also way better than its rivals now.

jerry do you understand handling? the smaller and lighter the better. ever heard the term "go kart handling"? ever wondered why? because they're small and light and low. its why the MINI handles so well, and why suvs inherently can't. high weight and a high centre of gravity don't make good companions for handling.
ever heard of power to weight ratios? think how fast to 60 a motorbike goes with just 100bhp! think how fast a golf gti is with 200 bhp! understand yet?
