VW Polo BlueMotion (2010) launched

Volkswagen has launched the 2010 VW Polo BlueMotion in the UK Yesterday we got the range-topping, hot-hatch goodness that is the VW Polo GTI.

As we’ve said before, the latest VW Polo is a great little car (although not so little any more) and feels more like a ‘little big car’ than just a little car.

Le Mans 2010: a picture gallery by Alex Tapley

Ford promote accessible & affordable technology in new campaign
