Volkswagen Polo hinted for the US market #

by Rich via Biodiesel Cars

Polo frt 

Volkswagen of America, Inc. may import the VW Polo to the United States around 2010. It will compete head to head with the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Smart. eGMCarTech predicts that the gasoline version will probably come first and and possibly be followed by the BlueMotion three cylinder 1.4 liter direct injection turbodiesel. Polo BlueMotion has the ability to achieve 72.4 mpg and is said to be cleaner than a Toyota Prius. For those thinking green and thrify the VW Polo BlueMotion on biodiesel might be something to save your spare change for?
