Re: Volkswagen Polo Named World Car of the Year 2010 (jamie@vwvortex)

The time has now come for VW to bring this car to America. With government passing new milage standards, concerns about global warming, and diesel making a come back, it only makes sense for VW. I know a lot of people would consider buying this car if it were available in the US. Its a shame that the World Car of the Year isn't available for the American consumer...

World car of the year, not sold in North America. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif
The Polo GTI gets me all excited inside. Not that I'm in any financial position to buy one if we did have it, it would still be nice. And I'm sure they would sell a bazillion of them if they did sell them here.

They need to bring the Polo to NA. I know they are concerned about it affecting the GTI in sales, but with all the other small and economical vehicles doing well over here now because of the economy, it would make a lot of sense.

Well, the last generation of Polo was sold in Mexico, that is part of North America

Congrats to VW, this car is really amazing.
I hope to bring to Mexico.

Re: (33732)

World Car of the Year yet not available on 1 of 7 continents....
And no, it wouldn't take away from Golf sales here. I'd buy a Polo GTI but I'm not buying a Golf GTI just because its my only option. I choose to buy NOTHING instead.

Where is Jamie? He should see people posting here...

Why not run same petition here on VWVortex? We did same thing for GTI 337 and VW heard us to the point that we saw this car here in US. It worked then maybe it will work this time too!

Polo wins the World Car award ** in New York ** during the press preview, then is pulled from the show floor BEFORE the show opens to the public, as not to confuse people into thinking they can actually buy it here.
Classic....................

The Polo will come, wait till the sedan is released...

Yep. They're trying to not make the sedan look like an afterthought. Much like the sedan Yaris, Versa, and the upcoming Fiesta sedan they're brewing for the hatch/wagon-hating US market. They're just taking their sweet time. They have a lot on their plate right now, with the NCS and NMS coming soon too. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
