'All new Golf debuts later this year'

According to completecar.ie
... and some speculation that it may be called a Mk8.

We will know in a few months.

If it is not a Mk8, if is just a facelift, then we will not see the Mk8 for 2 years.

Facelift chatter has been a bit quiet lately but have seen this appear yesterday on AutoZeitung:

Anyone else seen talk of a November 2016 refresh?

I don't think we'll see any 'real' images of the Mk8 (or Mk7 facelift) until the Frankfurt Motor Show (22 Sept).
Current: BMW M140i / ZF8 / 5 DR
Past: MK7 GTI / DSG / WHITE / 5 DR

Going by lead times for factory builds even if the MK8 or a facelift did come out as soon as November which I doubt, then it will be almost half a year before you see the car in the flesh anyway so there will be a bit of time to wait no matter what the outcome will be.  So if you have just bought a new car enjoy it as I suspect we will not see order books opening in the UK until sometime next year for the facelift or MK8.

Bit of a translation from carwow. The only thing that really interests me is the digital display behind the steering wheel. Rest of it seems fairly minor cosmetic changes.

I noticed on the Car WOW translation they mentioned the golf gets a twin exhaust as part of the facelift, but the pic they show is the GTI not a regular golf. 

With this in mind I would take it all with a pinch of salt.  But in regards to the digital display I suspect it will become available as an option sooner rather than later.

My German colleague is saying things about 48v electrical system, electric turbo and other high tech things.

All meant to be announced this autumn at the big car show. We shall we if these things are reserved for the halo e-tron model.
Now = 2011 MK6 GTI - Reflex Silver
Past = 2006 MK5 GTI - Tornado Red and Solid Black

I doubt we'll be getting those on an imminent facelift/MK8 (if there is no facelift) - the Ausi A3 just got a facelift and no 48v electrics on the A3.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
