 Volkswagen brought its range up to date for the 1980s by launching new generations of its Polo supermini and Passat large family car.Both cars were a huge success during their original 1970s incarnations.The Passat continued as a hatchback and estate, while the Polo hatchback was joined by a saloon model which (in Europe) no longer wore the Derby nameplate which was seen on the booted version of the original Polo.
