Right, I figured that much. I learned that the Golf (same chassis) had the ECU under the hood, while ours is under the glass. I didn't know that the Polo had been "enhanced," probably because it's not in the US, so I was ignorant. Kind of like I used to be about diesels. But I still think, if the Beetle name is to live on for a long time as a new car, it could be very beneficial to go back to its roots, ie basic car, ease of maintenance, reliability, charm. What more do you need?
