I think the new Polo GTI is far more sportier and far more masculine then the Mk4 golf ever was.....
I'm beginning to think that too... is the new Polo Gti any lighter than the Mk4 Golf Gti?

Yip definately! The MKIV GTi is approx 1300 KGS where as the new Polo GTi is less than 1200kgs I believe....and runs the same engine (150BHP version).

Whats the difference between the 150BHP motor and the 170 (180???) one?
is it a chip or so?

Yea, later model GTis had 180BHP. Not exactly sure how the extra power is made. Probably just the ECU.

Also the 180 hp models had the VW equivalent of Vtec
