Well lookit here — the tiny hot-hatch-loving kids across the pond may have a new toy for the 'bahns and 'stradas. A new version of VW Motorsport's Polo GTI Cup may be afoot. Originally built in the late '80s, the supercharged Polo GT G40 Cup...
Volkswagen is launching its new CrossPolo at Germany's Essen Motor Show, that country's aftermarket love fest, next week. VW's outdoorsy version of the mini Polo (it has a tailgate) is the successor to the Polo Fun, a similar, limited-run model...
Volkswagen is threatening legal action against Lee and Dan, the ad firm responsible for creating the "suicide bomber" ad for the VW Polo. The Polo, a tiny car once entirely unknown in the US, has gained more worldwide brand equity from the...
Another week, another installment of Hecklerspray's Rubbish Cars We Love. This time our boy Chris Laverty takes on the second-generation Volkswagen Polo, a wee runabout that never made it to our shores, but boasted a ripping sixty horsepower and a...

We were just lamenting to one of our comiserants about the lack of VW Polo GTI action in the US. We'd imagine Volkswagen could corner the market on performance subcompacts (or start one) if it brought the Polo GTI to the states. Of course, the...
The spies were right on — the carmaker of the people is launching the people's racer for the street. The company released info this am about the Polo GTI Cup Edition, a roadgoing version of the company's ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup series car....
We'd have bet our little sister that by now VW would have brought the Polo GTI to the US to challenge the Scion's dominance among young, sport-minded buyers (and by "little sister" we mean half a sawbuck). After all, the top-line Polo's got a...
