I, like most people, come from the school of thought where excessive indulgences in life are acceptable, plausible, awesome and should never be knocked. However, this has come to my attention and it makes no sense.
Volkswagen have placed their esteemed GTI moniker onto their Polo model of cars. Originally it has only ever been on Golfs but now they have found cause to bestow the honour and the muscular performance that comes with it on the smaller Polo.
You wouldn't see me complaining if a gorgeous girl in a red bikini was partnered by her gorgeous little sister is the same bikini. (same kind of bikini although if it was the exact same bikini it would make for happier opening) Perpetuating this methaphor would you bitch if you invited Paris Hilton over for drinks and a shag and she brought Nicky with?
If you answered 'no' like I did then why am I bitching about GTIing a polo? Simply because you pay for a polo, you don't pay for a night with the Hiltons. But lets say for the sake of argument you did have to pay for the Hiltons.
If you could not afford sex with Paris, but could afford to pay for it with Nicky. (I fear I am alone in thinking Nicky is actually worth more so will assume here that Paris actually is) Would you prefer to spend your money on sex with Nicky or head, a striptease and a hand job from Paris?
You see the 2006 Polo GTI will have the 1.8-litre, four-cylinder, 20-valve, turbo/intercooler petrol engine already seen in other VW products that, in GTI guise, will be capable of 110kW, 229Nm, 0-100km/h in 8.2 sec and a top speed of 216km/h.
However, the Polo will go for R188700 wheres the Golf V GTI is around R250K, although optional extras can bump it above R300K. Whereas your 190K could probably get you a very decent Golf V 2.0 FSI?
