Yes, your membership renewal has now been posted to you. Remember to pay it by 21st August, if you want to be in the draw for a FREE membership next year. Alternatively you can pay it by the 9th September to be financial and vote at the coming AGM. The final deadline is the 30th September, non-payment by this date and you membership will lapse.
Membership Renewal
This year we are holding the AGM on the 9th September at the John Hughes Training Facility in Victoria Park at 22 Teddington Street, Victoria Park (Next to “Office Choice”) - look for “VW Flags” - entrance is from the laneway. Tea and Coffee will be provided along with a supper. The meeting will start at 6:15pm sharp as it will need to be finished by 8:30pm. THANKYOU GOES TO RICHARD CLUTTERBUCK AND JOHN HUGHES VOLKSWAGEN for providing the venue for us.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM agenda is enclosed with this magazine for your information. The normal Committee Meeting scheduled for 9th September will not be going ahead due to the AGM on the same night - it is just down the street. Members will find a flyer in the magazine with details about our new website www.vwclubwa.com. Tina Moore has been putting in a lot of hours to get this website up and running, please have a look at it and use the feedback to let us know what you think, what you woukd like to see and what could be improved.
New Website and Magazine ‘online’
The current magazine will be online for „members only‟, so you need to make sure we have your correct email address to notify you when it becomes available. The most important feature is that the magazine is in „colour‟. In the future the club will be looking at reducing the numbers of printed magazines, so if you will be happy to get yours online only, please let the club know. It will save the club some money as well as the environment.

The new Volkswagen Polo At the Geneva Motor Show at the beginning of March, the Polo debuted with a completely new look and technology. After its celebrated world premiere, this latest Volkswagen is now entering the market. Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn: "The new Polo fulfills the highest standards of the automotive present and goes a step further. Its extremely efficient drive technologies, best possible active and passive safety systems, a level of quality never before attained in this car class and impressive design all set new benchmarks in the fifth generation of this bestseller that has sold over 10.6 million units." The Chairman of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Group continues: "The Polo is clearly the right car at the right time, and that is born out by the latest advance sales figures. Here we have created a Volkswagen that takes the unparalleled success of the Golf concept and effectively transfers it to an independent segment – the Polo class." "It is already clear that the Polo will redefine the benchmarks in its class, especially when it comes to preserving natural resources," says Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management, Volkswagen Brand, and responsible for technical development. Dr. Hackenberg continues: "As a 90-PS TDI with a BlueMotionTechnology package, the new Polo moves with 3.6 liter fuel consumption. Even our new 105-PS TSI only consumes 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. We have
succeeded in improving fuel economy between 8 and 20 percent over the entire gasoline engine lineup, and between 5 and 15 percent among the diesels. And that is really good."
front seats), three rear head restraints and Isofix preparation for child seats. Volkswagen has rearranged the line structure of its equipment lines since the previous model: "Trendline" still represents the entry-level variant, and "Comfortline" still refers to the mid equipment level. New to the lineup – and bringing the Polo in line with the Golf here – is the top version called
Another key fact: No other car in its class has such a mature and highend image as the new Polo. Comfort, quality and safety have all taken a considerable leap forward. One example: among other things, the Polo was specifically designed to attain the recently established, stricter and more comprehensive, 5-star EuroNCAP rating. The greater structural rigidity of the Polo‟s bodyshell contributes to these results. In the footwell area alone, intrusion – related to the car body‟s resistance to deformation in a frontal crash – was lowered by 50 percent! In the case of a side impact, the intrusion value was reduced by 20 percent. "Highline".

Volkswagen rocketed to number 1 on download charts in 39 countries and even climbed into the top ten on US download charts. So, along with traditional print advertising and media spots, in parallel Volkswagen is counting on interactivity via iPhone and iPod touch for the new Polo. And with success: more than 1.4 million downloads in the Apple App Store within four weeks are proof of the enthusiastic wave that the new Polo racing game "Volkswagen Polo Challenge" has triggered around the globe.

A panorama sunroof and bixenon headlights will follow at a later time. Weight down, fuel consumption down Despite significant improvements in all aspects of the car, the Polo‟s body weight has been reduced by 7.5 percent. Introduction of new TDI and TSI engines, and the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DSG), has resulted – as described by Dr. Hackenberg – in considerable improvement in fuel economy and reduced emissions over
The Polo on the iPod and iPhone Volkswagen is very much targeting the generation of "mobile gamers" with the new Polo: in parallel to the world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show, a Polo racing game for iPhone and iPod touch was launched on March 3, 2009 in Apple App Stores. After just two weeks of this innovative type of marketing,
The new engines include all three TDIs (turbo-diesel direct-injection); thanks to common rail technology implemented for the first time in the Polo, these engines are both efficient and refined. The potential in the TDI engines is clearly evident in the example of the Polo 1.6 TDI with 66 kW / 90 PS: when combined with a "BlueMotion Technology package", its average fuel consumption of 3.6 liters The "Volkswagen Polo Challenge" is per 100 kilometers and 96 g/km CO2 an interactive racing game that takes makes it the most fuel efficient and (Continued on page 14) lowest emitting five-seater diesel in the world.

sche will remain an independent company headquartered in Zuffenhausen. The details for implementing the concept will be finalized in the coming weeks. At the same time, negotiations with the Emirate of Qatar to acquire options on Volkswagen shares will continue, and talks will be initiated with Porsche‟s financing banks to discuss the overall concept. Successful completion of these discussions would be a further key step on the way to becoming an integrated group. Implementation of the agreement is also subject to the standard approval by the relevant authorities.
Volkswagen Scirocco shows class at Nürburgring The Volkswagen Scirocco cars powered by natural gas and petrol engines superbly mastered the world‟s most difficult circuit marathon, the 24hour race on the Nürburgring, by clinching two class victories.

I‟d like to express sincere praise to our drivers who mastered a difficult task consistently well. Due to the changes to the regulations the field has become clearly more competitive. What used to be lapping in the past has turned into an infinite number of overtaking manoeuvres. At the end of the day, the strong performance of the entire squad made the difference, which enabled us to achieve the double class victory through careful preparation and perfect work during the race.” (Continued on page 16)
