The "Polo" was originally designed to be an Audi, with VW doing a de-chromed version, less luxurious as I understand it. Most of the development work was done by Audi funnily enough, with VW sticking their badge on it right at the end. VW took control of Audi from Mercedes in the late 60s, and brought out the original 100s and 80s around then. (I've just been reading The VW Story). They were (mostly) released on the continent, don't think it was ever listed on UK Audi sales. But after a while Audi decided to drop the project as being a bit too downmarket for them.
