German firm Volkswagen has announced prices for the all-new Polo ò€“ and the supermini star will kick off at only Ò£10,035 for the base 1.2-litre S petrol.
The newcomer will be...
The newcomer will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show - but not the expo opening later this month, the one in 2006! Set to appear on forecourts soon after, the sportster will be the first model to be based on the next Laguna platform. And as its chassis will be adaptable for both front and rear-wheel drive, the stunning Renault should also deliver dynamic excellence.
The mag"s exclusive picture also shows that the newcomer will take its styling cues from the Fluence concept, which was unveiled at the Louis Vuitton Classic event in Oxfordshire in June. Features lifted from the prototype include the angular headlamps and full-length glass roof. The performance Laguna will be the firm"s first proper coup탩 since the Alpine A610 GTA was axed in 1993. But unlike the old car, it won"t be mid-engined; instead the newcomer will have the powerplant in the front and a pair of rear seats, giving it 2+2 appeal.
And the Coup탩 is likely to come with the 280bhp 3.5-litre V6 unit offered in Nissan"s 350Z, while a 3.0-litre V6, 2.0-litre turbo and 2.2 dCi diesel are also on the cards. Of these, only the 3.5 will feed power to the rear wheels.
Meanwhile, the model could mark Renault"s return to the US, where it will be sold alongside the next-generation Vel Satis. The company has been absent from the States since 1987.
