  Urban Legends Reference Pages: Polo Blow
This is the dilemma currently faced by Volkswagen regarding a viral ad seemingly calculated to offend as many human beings as possible.
According to the UK newspaper The Guardian, the "suicide bomber" spot was created by the Lee and Dan team, a British pair who have produced a number of other advertisements (including virals) known for their quirkiness.
A spokesman for Volkswagen said the company was considering legal action and blamed the advert on "two young creatives who are trying to make a name for themselves".

 Volkswagen Polo information - Search.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1986, the Polo received numerous technical improvements; amongst many other minor updates, the engines were changed to lower maintenance hydraulic tappets, new camshafts and valve gear and an automatic choke; the 1043 cc engine replaced the 1093 cc, and in some markets the 1.3 L engine was available with fuel injection and equipped with a catalytic converter.
The new Polo still had the 4-cylinder engine but now as well as the carburetor 1.0 L, a fuel injection model was available with single-point injection and all engines came standard with a catalytic converter to combat tightening EU laws on automobile emissions.
The Polo is the second smallest model in the current VW range, larger than the VW Fox and smaller than the VW Golf.

 Volkswagen Polo 1.9 TDI - Review New - Motoring - theage.com.au
Volkswagen has quickly become a leading player, embracing compression ignition technology across its range, offering two diesel choices for the Golf V and even a Beetle TDI.
Polo is now in on the act, a 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine joining the line-up late last year as part of the upgrade that also featured a funkier front and rear look, a GTi model and a power upgrade for the familiar 1.4-litre petrol engine, albeit only when mated to a manual transmission and five doors.
The result is a transformation that means the Polo TDI is barely recognisable to anyone who has endured time with the underwhelming 1.4.

 Volkswagen Polo Dune Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As if the Polo range wasn't extensive enough with a choice of two body styles, five trim levels and a choice of six engines, some with dual power outputs, the Polo Dune is yet another, if slightly curious addition.
All this serves to make the Polo Dune a little larger than the rest of the range, which, with the new revisions in 2005 is already bigger than the old MK1 Golf.
The Polo Dune also houses a 4-cylinder, 1.4 unit although with a power output of 80PS at 5,000rpm and maximum torque of 132Nm at 3,800rpm.
