I think you will find the regular Polo is coming out of Shanghai, China now.
I'd take the one from Espanol. 8)

Now that Polo GTi is a new car I would consider seriously. I had a Golf GTI in the early 90's and I loved it. :)

BINI need not apply.

The engine in the Polo GTi is the engine out of the last model Golf GTi, so in theory you get are getting a three door brand new (but last model spec enginewise) Golf GTi. Sounds like a pretty bloody good idea to me. Spaceboy got it right, this is what the BINI should have been, and could have been if it wasn't a freakin' BMW.
