Sorry I know this isn't a Golf but maybe a look at what might be on the cards (the GTI is in the second half of the video).

The concept was previously called the ID. 2all and pictures of the GTI version were doing the rounds a couple of years ago.

Yes I remember but it's nice that they've kept a familiar name - I guess there's hope that the Golf name may stay on.

So great they kept the iconic name. Because wtf is ID.2, omg.

This was confirmed a good while ago. Volkswagen will keep the Golf name for future electric vehicles, as confirmed by Volkswagen and Thomas Schäfer, who stated that "iconic names like Golf, Tiguan and GTI" will be transferred to future electric vehicles”.

My cynical heads says keeping the iconic names allows them to sell some the Editions every 5/10 years. :whistle:
For the love of god I hope the badges front and rear aren't lit up. My guess is GTi badges in a couple of editions time with have the side GTI badges lit up too, to spice up the range from older models as they run out of ideas.
The rest is ok in a VW 'ok' kind of way...

Of course you have to keep the iconic name, like in this case where this car actually looks like futuristic Polo (also same size), but not when you're doing some electric SUV (?) bullsh!t and call it "Mustang".

😂 Very true, I’m old enough to remember when a car with an ‘I’ in the badge was looked upon with envious eyes.

You could also ask about Porsche's use of 'turbo' on their electric cars.
