New Golf Mk 7 rendering from Auto Express
« on: 06 October 2009, 13:36 »
Here it is. looks like VW is accelerating its introduction. If true, that doesn't bode well for everyone who's just bought a Mk 6.

Anyway, it looks nice: DRLs from Golf R, sleeker Scirocco-inspired lines, it looks more modern yet still very much a Golf.

Golf R - almost on order - 5-door, DSG, Rising Blue, leather, 19" alloys, RNS510 with Dynaudio, ACC, Sunroof, Parking camera and sensors, luxury pack and cruise control.

Can't see the picture :sad: I'm surprised Auto Express is making do with artists impressions of the Mk VII, though, I thought they would have 'official pictures' of the 2033 MkXIX at the very least.

They are so obviously PS'ed pictures of a MkVI GTI (and not 'leaked images', as they claim :grin:), but I agree the front is ghastly with its pedestrian-friendly high bonnet line.

The front looks like a f**king Laguna! Not a fan of this at all.

Hey, Auto Express, look at this leaked close-up from a "VW spokesman" and/or "reliable source"! That MUST mean that the Mk7 Golf will be getting a V8!

MK6 is only a facelifft and tweaks, MK7 is all new platform due late 2011.
