Title: Mk8 Golf
Post by: fredgroves on 27 March 2017, 17:34

Yes, its coming... either in 2018 or 2019 depending on which paragraph of this you read:

Time to cancel that Mk7.5 order methinks  :whistle:

It mentions the facelift is due in 2018, not the mk8. Auto Express is like 'The Sun' of the motor magazine world, they just run stories with photoshopped pictures and pass them off as fact.

I'll believe it when VW announce it :grin:

Although the Mk7 Golf has had a facelift, the new car – due in 2018 – will build on this.

I agree with your sentiments, but I was really just taking the mick out of those saying "don't get a Mk7.5, the Mk8 is coming" :D
