A news report suggests that Volkswagen has earmarked the Polo for a Proton remodelling job, and that a locally-made Polo could very well enter the scene “priced competitively at below the RM70,000 mark.”
While the usual form that comes to mind when someone mentions Polo is that of the hatch, let’s not forget that there’s also the Polo Sedan. Rendering wizard Theophilus Chin has sent in a tongue-in-cheek take on what would happen if the VW Polo and Proton Saga were to meld. The result, as he puts it, is the Proton Sago! Like what you see?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments suggest that the "Proton Saga" meeting Volkswagen Polo is a rebranding or rebadging of the Polo, with some expressing skepticism about the quality and pricing, and others excited about the technological transfer like TSI engines and DSG gearboxes. There’s concern about Proton losing its own identity and fears of cheap, cheaply made cars. Several believe the collaboration could boost quality and affordability, but some see it as a strategic move that may not genuinely improve the brand or the local auto industry.
