[Vwdiesel] us polo woohoo

[Matt]

It wasn't the engines I was worried about.  They're actually going to  
lengthen the wheelbase and make the car taller, plus, release a sedan/ 
wagon.  It's not going to be the cool hatchback that it is in Europe.   
They say the Polo isn't big enough to sell here.  Whatever.

As far as engines, we'll get a 5 cyl gas pig with an automatic  
transmission. :-D
