| ![]() Well it's a good move from VW. The new 1.5L Diesel in the new polo is one of the best diesel engines in its class. They should be able to bring the import cost down. But I wonder how much of that benefit will be passed on to the customers. |

| ![]() I think if they decide to put the saved money in building more service outlets, they will gain a lot. As of now, the issue is not the product quality. The issue is a lack of proper service infrastructure. The moment their service network expands, things will improve to a considerable extent in terms of customer satisfaction of existing customers. |

VW makes lovely beautiful cars but their ASC arrant lovely to be in. That is what needs "URGENT" improvement. Nothing else! They can have million plans with a million cars for India, till the ASC and customer satisfaction isn't solved, God help them! Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai have slogged to reach this level. Not easy and not that difficult either. Anurag. | |

![]() And if the government is trying to manage congestion by the 4 metre rule then it is a seriously flawed logic. If we take a look at the sheer number of 2 wheelers that are there (and sold) in India, they are enough to fill all the roads. The better way of managing congestion is by improving public transport and infrastructure and not by limiting the size of a car IMHO. | |

| ![]() For me, It looks like a Vento stripped down from its boot just to make it 4m. I do not understand why manufacturers convert a hatch into a sub 4 meter sedan unless the hatch has a pre-planned design which would go well when converted into a sub 4-m sedan. For e.g Brio converted to an amaze, Grand i10 into an xcent. For me these are the two mid size sedans which look cute and are proportionate. Swift which is already large from the front and sides converted into a Dzire, looks they planned for a bigger boot but to fit it into 4m, they just had to cut short that boot and looks like having a horizontal dent along the rear (no offense to Dzire owners). An already 4m hatch (Polo) being coverted into a sub-4 meter sedan is overdone. Thanks Karts |

Guys,this is just a rendering by autocar. VW will not screw up the design for sure. My guess is that they may use the older polo's interior/exterior design for some differentiation. As to how it looks like let's wait for the confirmed launch. Plenty of speculative news around in auto mags! | |
