There could probably do with some kind of consistency over the different models--there's 'station wagon' in use for the coupé over the picture besides the rest. The German terms were Steilheck and Coupé, and as far as I'm aware they were translated pretty uniformly to Hatchback and Coupé in English.
Some kind of note about the models' continuing popularity might be prudent also. TNC 00:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there any mileage in trying to add a small section or even a paragraph/sentence about the experimental "Oko Polo" (eco-) that VW made a few prototypes of in the early 80s, on the Mk2 platform? One of the earliest forced-charge small diesels - 2 cylinder, 850ish cc, 40ish hp, and, bizarrely, supercharged - which proved to be rather too far ahead of it's time, expensive to make and unlikely to find a ready market... bit of a shame. There's only a little bit of information around concerning it, but I have at least seen scans of contemporary magazine articles about it before. Be nice to have it as at least a small footnote in this here historical record, as some of it's DNA still lives on in their modern products (including, particularly, the XL1...). 193.63.174.211 ( talk) 13:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
