I’ve said it before and I will say it again - I really like this car! Can’t wait to see these here in the states.

   I’m excited about all the fun smaller cars that may be coming to the US. Give me my Fiat, my smart, and my twincharged VW Polo!

   I used to drive a Fiat 500 in Munich and loved it. Seems like they have not been able to do quite as good a job as MINI in maintaining the marque but from the rear it certainly has some of the original characteristics. It will be interesting to see if this will instill the same passion that MINI generated in rebirthing a ‘classic’. Thanks Pedro, great video.

   Currently the motor is only available in the European Golf GT 1.4 TSi but I think it would be the perfect fit for the Polo GTi to replace the older 1.8T motor. Some info:
