Title: MkVII Golf
Post by: gizzywizzy on 12 May 2010, 22:08
Auto Express Mag has pics of mk7 Golf this week, apparently due for sale in dealerships in 2102 or later as the mk6 is selling so well.

I am not certain that I like it although AE reckons it is a bit of a stunner.

Yes i was reading that tonight as the mag dropped through my door this morn, not impressed with the look of it myself if thats what it turns out like,
They are also doing an R version of the new Polo but a 1.6 front wheel drive  :undecided:

I don't like it. It really looks like a polo on "enlarge".

Also do you reckon VW would send out a car with twin pipes and no bodykit? It's an attempt to breed a polo with a golf gti.

Polo on mild steroids for me!!
I hate the way car manufacturers now have to have all their stable looking the same give or take size and the odd bit here and there.

Apparently this was the MK7. Auto Express are so full of crap.

Relax. These latest pictures are only the result of a gifted Auto Express photoshop artist with a lively imagination. They are not the real thing. If you want to find out what the Golf VII will genuinely look like, then you have to read the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport. This consistently shows exactly what future models look like.

This particular rendition is far too close to the Polo for comfort and way too square. The new Golf is rumoured NOT to have lost its curves. Unfortunately, VW have put Walter Da Silva, formerly of Audi, in charge of exterior design and, given recent Audi dogs such as the Q7 and cookie-cutter A4, A6 and A8, it is fair to say that he is rapidly becoming VW's own version of Chris Bangle.

I just hope when it comes to the interior of the mk7 (especially the GTI) that they dont cut back on the outstanding quality already of the mk6 GTI. Its a stunning interior.

^ Apart from the rattles.
The mk7 pics are probably quite near but as a mk6 owner i don't care i bought the car i like and won't be changing it for the newer one especially after seeing some of the odd things VW class as good engineering design practices on the mk6.

lol I cant wait for the first person who has a MK6 to call the MK7 a MK6.5 :D :D

Surely it should be the true Mk6, if the current 'Mk6' is a thinly tarted up Mk5?

I prefer it to the mk6, But to be fair the mk6 does nothing for me!!!!!!   :lipsrsealed:

IMO the mk6 is a backward step to the mk5  :cool:

Well, it's obviously a PhotoShop - basically a MkVI with a new Touareg-style nose. Funny to see that VW have finally seen the light and given the Golf some nice Interlagos wheels, though :grin:

Yeah but surely its just a Mk5.75 and the black one also in the photos just looks like a flipping bog standard mk6.
