2010 Volkswagen Polo TSI 1.2 - Click above for high-res image gallery
At last year's
Geneva Motor Show, we got our first in-person look at the all-new fifth-generation
Volkswagen Polo, the brand's popular B-segment model that slots in below the ever-expanding
Golf and
Jetta range. While subcompact vehicles like the Polo have been a staple in Europe for decades where fuel prices hover around $8/gallon, in the last few years, Americans have finally started to take a serious look at cars of this size. With the
Honda Fit and
Mini Cooper well established, the
Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 twins on the way and an all-new
Chevrolet Aveo coming late in 2010, the market for subcompact runabouts is picking up steam in the States - and VW is taking a long, hard look at adding the Polo to its North American lineup in the next few years.
With that in mind, VW trotted out a fleet of Polos for us to sample on its home turf near Wolfsburg, Germany recently - and while the automaker has yet to make a firm decision about importing the Polo to the U.S., they clearly wanted our feedback. Here's what we told VW of America CEO Stefan Jacoby and his staff.
