Question Polo Edition?
Has anyone ever heard of or seen one before?? Saw one the other day while I was driving, and before it turned onto the freeway I saw the FOR SALE sign in the window!!! (Dark Jade Green body with BBS wheels,tinted windows, Polo Edition logos...)

Probably a custom deal...next YSL and LV. Wonder if we'll see an Eddie Bauer Ed. ? The best would be a NISMO or VTEC.

would have really small wheels with horrible offsets, cut springs, random decals, painted interior panels, a park-bench wing, lots of flashing lights, and a pair of coffee can exhausts?

Hmmm.......

Sounds like a DSE (Dealer Special Edition), not an official release.

Like the Sunchaser variant on the RA4X series Celicas. An outside job though other companies did cut the tops off.

This is the first time I've heard of any variations other than the Coach and Platinum Eds. Doubtful it will increase in value.

OMG,,,, sounds like one of those cars you see down in Florida, with that horrible faux convertable top. You see alot of retiree's down there driving them. Definately sounds like a dealer special edition sourced with an outside company. Definately not an apealing look. I did some research,, check these out from forums past.
