Volkswagen has been thinking to import subcompact hatch into the States and it seems that Polo GTI would be the trek to do as well.

Drawing a clearer line to the GTI's of yore than it's biggie-sized brother, the Polo GTI embodies everything we loved about the Mk1: a small footprint, supreme usability and a miserly mill packing a potent punch. In this newest iteration, said punch is provided by a 178-horsepower turbo- and supercharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder putting out an incredibly healthy 184 pound-feet of torque. Those figures aren't too far away from what our beloved GTI produces, and the Polo comes in a few hundred pounds lighter and doesn't skimp on the good bits (top notch interior and the XDS differential).

The GTI is set to go on sale in Europe this summer with a sticker of around £18,000. We figure if we ask nicely (and VW begins building the Polo in North America), we might get a crack at it in the U.S. Then again, we've been asking nicely for the Scirocco for over two years...

It's high time, V W fill up the vacuum created by the recalls of faulting machines in America by other big motor companies. One of the high end car and does serve a great appeal with all segment.

Even though the presence in States is comparable to other makers, VW should concentrate on these models to garner more market share.

Are these Volkswagens going around on the roads of all the countries at present? Can anybody tell me whether you have seen a Volkswagen in Indian cities especially the smaller cities.
