Looking at how bad VW sales is now, I honestly doubt sales will be too good for this new model. And isn't this stepping on Polo Sedan territory?

The Vento should be replacing the Polo Sedan i would think

Still using the problematic 7 speed DSG?
No idea to be honest at this point. However I'll be at the official launch next week and I shall return with some answers

If you like (rest of you guys too) please post your questions here and I shall pick them to be asked during the press conference next week

1. Has the 7 Speed DSG been revised to eliminate shift mechanism / mechatronic failures of the past?

2.

If you like (rest of you guys too) please post your questions here and I shall pick them to be asked during the press conference next week

1. Has the 7 Speed DSG been revised to eliminate shift mechanism / mechatronic failures of the past?

2. Will the Polo hatchback continue to sell? Or will there be a Vento hatchback?

Although i would assume the answer would describe how the Vento being an old VW model name is currently revived to replace the Polo Sedan an the Polo will be called the Polo

this would be the same as 6uest's question yes?
Similar, both the clutch and the mechatronic is part of the DSG 7. VW is always saying the mineral oil solved the mechatronic failure.

So what about the clutch failures and premature wear. Basically they answer A and skip question B.

Good point ixeo

If you like (rest of you guys too) please post your questions here and I shall pick them to be asked during the press conference next week

1. Has the 7 Speed DSG been revised to eliminate failures of the past? If so, will there be any improvements over the 2, much talked about mechatronic and premature clutch wear?

2. Will the Polo hatchback continue to sell? Or will there be a Vento hatchback?
