According to Automotive News, Volkswagen has determined that Americans might like a Polo, so it's bringing the 80-hp subcompact Stateside in the not-too-distant future.

Until now, the importation of the Polo was all conjecture, but now we have confirmation, straight from the horse's mouth. No specifics were given about the diminutive hatchback's U.S. debut, but Volkswagen Group of America CEO Stefan Jacoby confirmed they think the time is right. The automaker feels that Americans are more open to smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles following the summer of high gas prices and the struggling economy.

OK. We'll see where this one goes. How many clowns can you fit in the Polo?

None. Clowns ride exclusively in Japanese cars.

It will most likely be the next generation Polo, not the one in the picture above.

This car looks nearly as small as a STUPID. What's the fuel economy? This car has to deliver on price and mileage and significantly if it expects to survive here.

The Polo is what Toyota wished Yaris would be or what Honda hoped Fit would be. More economical, faster and better looking than the Japanese econoboxes this Polo is indeed the ultimate city car.
