The New Polo GTI

[scirocco_gti at juno.com (Peel)]

LOL! The original accord was slightly larger than a Scirocco. The Fiesta was slightly smaller than the Rabbit.

SUVs are an example of incredibly successful marketing - convincing a significant portion of our population that they "need" an SUV, which in reality most people don't need. ;-)

It is probably not a cooincidence that U.S. automaker's largest profit margins (by far)come from the low-tech trucks and SUVs.

and they would be correct, trucks and SUVs outsell
everything else here in the US.  that is why small
cars like the polo were never sold here.  ford tried
with the polo-sized fiesta in the late 70s, but
americans prefer accord/passat sized sedans, not
polo-sized hatchbacks.
