Are the people at VW spending too much time sitting at the back of one of their diesel cars? What is with their weird press releases?
... German grammar?

They must be on drugs judging by the press releases. It's been like a history of what we already know with zero information about what we don't lol.

Let's hope the designers haven't been on drugs... just make the front a little neater/sharper/sportier... and add a little extra performance/economy/refinement... and don't focus too much on useless tech, that most people/buyers/drivers don't care about.

We will soon know what the Golf facelift looks like. Though it may still be a few months until we will know how the performance models look.

I was just looking at the S3 facelift. It received some slight improvements in spec. The Golf R will likely get the same spec. So 300PS to 310PS and a 7 speed DSG.

This has left we wondering about the other performance Golfs...

The GTE is expected to get similar performance to the Passat. So 201bhp to 216bhp.

The last few GTIs have been given 10PS extra. So 220PS to 230PS for the standard car. Though some are speculating that the GTI will get more to keep up with the Skoda Octavia vRS.

I can't see anything to indicate that the GTD will get any improvements. They didn't make any changes to the 184PS engine in the A3. It didn't get the 7 speed DSG either. Though it would seem strange if the GTD were left out.

Did the A3 facelift 184 TDI get the addition of AdBlue?

AFAIK the only Golf/A3 TDI that uses AdBlue is the somewhat different one sold in the USA.

I would be surprised to see it on a Euro model....

Front end looks a bit cheap and plasticky now, lights are ok but it hasn't made me feel like I've missed out on anything worth waiting for. Gti built next week 😉
