This article on the German Auto Bild website at the link below might be of interest to you all.
Golf VII is on photo pages 78 to 81. The article as a whole goes through 81 photos of new German cars over the next 2 or 3 years but I was only interested in the last 4 VW ones. The Golf looks nice enough and the Cabrio looks nicer than the rendering we saw in a thread on here last week. 2012 in Germany might suggest late 2012 here or even early 2013. It mentions the next R having a 300 bhp twin turbo and it also shows in photo 81 a Golf Coupe which I thought was pretty smart.
Of course it could all be the usual media flannel but see what you think.

Nice one Andy, I've been meaning to look the new Golf up but keep forgetting !
I like it !!
Not sure about the Golf con-vee though. For me, the mk1 golf is the only one it worked for and it should be left there. If it is a hit, it has a lot to live up to !! :smiley:

If it's true then the new GTI will be here mid 2013.
I think I'm going to keep mine for a long time as it's just the perfect car for me at the moment.
But then again, in a few years time.....

230-240 hp for the next GTi?

I'm with you, probably keep my mk6 GTi for a few years, probably until the mk8 GTi is available.
No deseasel for me !!

Thanks for posting, I'd only seen the powder blue images in Autocar and they left me cold. I really like the styling cues and the car from the front in those shots.

Meh, just looks like the polo IMO

The back certainly does.

It looks clean, stylish and sassy at the same time. I like it a lot.

With VWs cost cutting on engineering finishing and painting but concentrating on quality of interiors only im not changing to a mk7 or 8.
-
You've got a point there, Snoops. The steel will get even thinner, the paint even thinner with less paint everywhere. They might even establish a new trend of offering cars in undercoat. No need to vinyl wrap for a matt finish. A really smart move IMO. NOT!

^ They already do. Have a look at the engine bay of a 2011 GTI :shocked:

I am not really a lover of Ford cars, but having seen the pic on the front of Autoexpress of that new Focus coupe in electric blue, I think I have fallen head over heels.
-
I know that those are just photoshops and all that, and agree with others that it looks very nice but it just looks like another facelift of the mk5.
I've not seen the new Capri pictures yet but wasn't impressed with the pictures I did see of the forthcoming Focus, basking shark springs to mind.

Sorry to veer off the thread topic, but there is one thing I didn't really get about Ford.
They build powerful European cars such as the Focus ST, RS etc, but in the states their Ford models have larger engines but not a lot of BHP/performance etc.
Why is that?

Just a different market. The US traditionally likes its torquey big capacity low-revving understressed engines. You'd also be surpised how many new US cars still have 1960's-style suspension.

Yeah, take the new Jetta as an example, in Europe it has the indie rear suspension like the Golf and Passat, but stateside they're knocking them out with low rent interiors and beam suspension like on mk1 Golfs. Yet they're all built in the same Mexican factory.

..still prefer Mk6 shaping, don't like the flatter back on the Mk7 (like a little junk in ma trunk)..or is that just the angle?

:cool:

I thought so :). Mk7 is startin to grow on me
-
I agree with the sweaty, it's starting to look a bit flat from the back.... Like the Leon. Personally I think the rear side panel's on the MK6 are the nearest the golf has come 2 looking like the original MK1 (and look especially good on a 3 door)????
-
I agree with the sweaty
?? :angry: :tongue:
-
Looking good so i thought the mk6 too but not until i tested it and saw,the finish outside is great.But inside the car it dissapoints.
I have a mk1,mk2,mk3 (had) and mk4.I really wanted to change but I felt that it will be a lower spec and quality car.So much cheap plastic...The mk4 still stands out in this department but not performance.
Still I'll go for a superb mint MK2 16v original spec.I'll be happier......
:tongue:
