When I hear "VW Polo" I immediately think of this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Volkswag...

Now they look so grown up, pretty much like a Golf.

The original Polo was made by their Spanish arm called SEAT - VW then took the model line further to slot in below the Golf when that became bigger and more expensive.

The new Polo (2018-) is now the size the Golf 5/6 was circa 2009 and thus is priced accordingly.

Their solution for our car market is to still produce the 2017 model and rebrand it as the Polo Vivo.
