| ![]() @ drchernish, the picture correlates with the sketch & scoop pics in Autocar. The car looks balanced in its design, curves & looks are not too bad. What is disappointing however, is to see that VW havent changed the front grill/portion much (from Polo hatchback). I personally feel that Fiat has done a much better job with its Punto/Linea, which look entirely different. ![]() |

| ![]() I doubt if any sedan can be called as a worthy contender to the Honda City.The Linea was touted as one but it failed.The vento clicks all the right boxes,except reliability and after sales,of which we have little information.Even the snob value associated with buying a honda can be matched by the VW. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Went to VW dealer here and asked about vento- they have no information on the date but clearly it will not be until August that bookings may start and then Sept/October before the first one rolls out. With the backlog of Polo still not cleared, its going to be a very very busy VW factory and showrooms indeed. VW sales guys can enjoy the next year or so. I wish i would wait till Oct, as need to buy a car asap, but 4-5 months is too long to wait ![]() |

ACI pics on the cover and inside clearly says Auto Car Image so they aren't the real photos of Vento. The only real photo I know off, of the Vento is the pics someone clicked in Chakan and carried it in Team BHP. It had a blue oval to make it look like Ford and fake tail lamps like Fiesta and the debate was whether it was a Fiesta or the "Polo" sedan. It was settled in favor of the "Polo" sedan Cheers, | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I am so waiting for this car to finally launch, but have a feeling when it does arrive, it will overpriced, underpowered or both! Any idea how the VEnto compares with the Etios? |

Also seems to have Auto Climate and a few other tasty bits (at least chrome garnish on the steering and a fuller complement of dashboard buttons under the central HVAC outlet. There is a current gen Tiguan in the background, so this looks like SA or the Mexican plant. (Vince Burlapp Car Page) | |

| ![]() Looks to be the real one Check out Motoroids scoop images. Scoop! Volkswagen Vento / Polo Sedan undisguised! - Motoroids.com The burlapp car page has same images, my doubt is probably the Motoroids guys have mirrored the first image so it seems to be RHD whereas burlapp image has LHD!!!
