I can't help but think that the Polo looks a bit 'cheap' next to the Fabia.
Cheap plastic dashboard with no flocking, accelerator pedal from the production car, fixed pedal box, no sill protection, etc etc
Maybe the new Polo should have the classic Volkswagen Motorsport livery from the eighties? ;)

Doesnt really matter because just like with everyday cars people will stand in line to buy the Polo while the much cheaper and just as effective unit (Fabia R5) will be left behind.Quote:

Uh, what? That doesn't make sense at all.

Some teams using Fabia already confirmed the intention to change for the Polo in 2019. I mean, whats the point in that?! I really dont see why they want to have two cars in the same category, based on the same platform and with so many equal components. Might aswell retire the Fabia and sell only Polo's.Quote:
