A few months ago I reported that Volkswagen may bring their Polo model to the United States and Canada. Are they? The answer is yes . . . and no. Volkswagen wants to add an entry-level car for the U.S./Canadian market, but while the car we get will be called the Polo, it will likely be a Polo in name only. Instead of the authentic European model VW fans in North America have been craving for, we're likely to get a tall car like the Honda Fit, and possibly a small trunked sedan, with the Polo badge.
I'll reserve judgment on VW's proposed entry-level car for this market until I see the darn thing. In the meantime, I'm glad the sixth-generation Golf is coming soon. :-)
