Why are people going on about 2012 delivery for the new golf? Not going to happen in a MILLION YEARS. The MKVI will run for 4year minimum

Well, it's all over the web now. I can't see what the fuss is about, TBH. It looks like the Mk VI, won't be out for a few years yet and manufacturers work on new models like this all the time :rolleyes:

As if, it's only a mid life cycle facelift. MKVII is due in the showrooms late 2011.

Although i would argue that the design shown is only a slight facelift on the mk6.

Like all Golfs, it'll look similar to the one before. But the Mk7 will have a whole new body structure. Like they've done with the new Polo, VW are working to reducing weight.

Beats depreciation hands down, and means I get a new car every 2yrs so its just fine for me.

I would never go down the diesel route... the gti is a stop gap to a v6 or v8.

So MKVI will only live 2009-2011?? Sounds lika a poor tooling investment from VW. My -07 GTI is just paid for and I want to get a new one, but if there is a new one within two years?? I'd better make some calls and get this confirmed.

"Thanks to worldwide recession, Mk6 Golf sales are down 60,000 units in the first two quarters of 2009. But rather than speeding up the introduction of the Mk7 Golf, the downturn means Volkswagen will squeeze an extra few months out of the current car"

Still, looks like it'll be out in about 3 years' time.

Down 60,00 units yet they still take around 3 months from order to delivery for 1 car.

A couple "exclusive" pics from AutoExpress:

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/243025/vw_golf_mkvii_exclusive_pics.html

Looks pretty sleek.  Much better than the standard MkVI.

doesnt look that different to the mk6 tbh :undecided:

whats slightly strange about those pics is that the rear end shot shows the gti... which usually isnt available straight away :huh:

anyone else think they have stolen those rear lights from something in the bmw range :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed:
