LOL nobody knows anything really... all these articles with "news" and "photos" are just click bait.

Volkswagen Ireland have confirmed to me that Facelift available to order from March 2017 and MK8 available from 2019.
I kept asking if GTD available to order from March 2017 and they said yes but not so sure how correct that part is....

I bet if I called them up now I'd get a different spiel...

"Volkswagen has confirmed that the VW Golf Mk6 will get a “major update” next month."

Hope it's a bit more extensive than this Leon facelift...

The 2017 Seat Leon has been revealed, with the facelifted model having undergone styling tweaks, as well as gaining new technologies and two new engines.

On the outside, the Leon has been given a larger front grille to make the car look bigger, and other subtle styling tweaks, including front and rear lights that now incorporate the same LED signature as the Ateca. Three new colours are also offered.

Well the golf is getting an 'extensive' and 'major' update. But who knows...

From the article: there are several bits which may be of interest to people waiting for the Golf facelift -

- Sales will start in February.
- The performance model is not being launched yet. Speculation is that it will be next year.
- The performance model will have a power boost and a 'surprise'

So the Golf being a month behind -

- Sales to start in March?
- No performance models until next year?
- Performance models get a power boost and a 'surprise'

"New Leon CUPRA family with “its own surprises” debuts in early 2017"

[Exonian]

We're assuming the 'surprise' is an extra axle to go with a power hike of over 300PS then?

The front bumper seems to have brought the Leon full circle looking remarkably like the pre-facelift previous (mk2) generation Leon FR & Cupra with the more pronounced side grilles.

Well it looks like I may be wrong again...

"Volkswagen confirms that facelifted Golf will debut in early November this year. According to company this will be a major update, and the model will be regarded as the 8-generation Golf."

That blue GTD in the link - I thought this was probably the best looking 'draft' to get an idea of the facelift.
Just realised its got TT LED DRLS, part clubsport bumper and part facelift A3 sline bumper (the lower sepearte grille)

The Golf facelift will be very similar to that - look at the new A3 FL - new lights, new bumpers, a few new colours, same wheels for most of the range. Really hard to tell the difference if your not into your cars...
