The gti will retain the twincharged engine and the R will get the 1.6T unit which means if all goes well and VW see fit to let SEAT do it then we may see a cupra R with the 1.6T unit and hopefully a 6 speed wet box DSG.

Article Dated 4th May 2010 and nothing concrete since
The polo gti is getting a new engine? Where have you read this?
the bloody tail lights on the SC look exactly the same but the 5 door ones have changed. What's that all about???!!!

I'm not really keen it - I think the mk4 facelift was excellend and really improved the look of the car. I think on the mk5 it just looks cheaper
Agree that seeing the facelift model in the flesh is the only way to judge how the car really looks. Having said that my initial impression (as I've said before) is that the facelift isn't an improvement over what we currently have. I certainly wouldn't be tempted to give up my current car for a new Ibiza from what I've seen so far...
