Here in UK it starts upwards of £10K, and if VW brings new POLO, it might cost much more, may be at a samilar price of Honda Jazz. | |

Promised amitv8 to keep an eye open for clicking the truck on test. So today evening, went outside Pune - towards Bangalore - hoping that the indigo and tata truck would be returning after another trail. I was right - but unfortunately this time the car was on the other side of the road, and could not get any pictures. And a different truck on test - with a lesser pair of wheels at the rear. Didn't feel like chasing him - what with wife and daughter thinking that dad has become loony!! But I did go mad within a short while - I was seeing this car "Ibiza" with foreign plates in Pune every now and then. Wanted to find who produces the car and who is driving it here. The one which I saw earlier was a fantastic red coloured one - it really turned heads on the road. And what do I see today? A brilliant white Ibiza! Wait a minute, what is he after going so fast? Chasing a VW Polo with TC plates? Spot a u-turn and head after him - but he is pretty fast; decided that some people had imported a few for fun! No sooner do I ease up, there is a convoy of VW's!!! Believe me there are five cars in a group, all with foreign plates. Start the chase - wife and daughter are cursing a weekend turning into a nightmare - because they are instructed to pass the camera amongst them to click the pictures. We are going too fast - 100+ - and there is a Scorpio acting as a rear guard and preventing any pictures being snapped - wife is getting anxious, but daughter is game. So I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. All credit to this lot goes to my daughter - Aswathi (I'll succeed in my endeavour to turn her into a automobile fan!! She is now involved with footbal and Fabregas - a little of bikes, Rossi & Stoner in between!! But she has plenty of future ahead!!) | |

No - only a couple had LHD plastered on the rear - predominantly it was the Polo diesel (because of the TDI badge). The number plates were all foreign - under going homologation for the shortlisted ones? By the way, they had a Scorpio following them - saw two people in it telling me not to take the pictures. And, none of the 5 cars ever allowed any one to overtake them - I tried rather hard, but the Scorpio was not having any of it. Finally, the guys in the cars - neither they looked European nor looked like local drivers - people from other parts of VW plants? Maybe somebody with access to VW can throw light! Till them, all we can do is to hope for more sightings and wishful thinking  ! | |

These are definitely German cars as can be confirmed by their registration plates which have 'D' under EU Circle in the blue part of plate. 'D' stands for Duestchland or Germany.  | |
