MK6 Golf - All new car or improved MK5

[VWKev]

[stir]for what its worth the mk5 and 6 have different doors. no more removable door skins as on the mk5 [/stir]

That's true but you can bolt a MK6 door on a MK5 and vice versa and it will shut and lock and all the electrics will hook up and work.

Very true. Would look a bit stupid as they are slightly different shapes... but you could.

I ony mentioned this as it highlights one of the cost cutting measures by VW

Well worthy of mention mate.

nick

Diff doors ? Clinches it then, so its a new car now ?

They're only different in that skin is changed as I have told you for what feels like a million times it's a reskinned car. The door is the same structure with the same glass, the same electrics and will fit perfectly in the opening of both cars, it just has a different profiled skin to match the facelift of the MK6.

Nick, I was joking.

volovo ?   F@cking idiot.    

The new Standard Polo looks better than the standard MK6 Golf imo.

Kev reminds me Josho.

It's a f**kin typo ya clueless prick.

prick, now we are at the bottom of the insult barrel

Hmm, taking an objective view I'd say that the MKVI GTI is a stop gap that is billed as an all new car, but takes the best bits of the MKV and adds some new revised parts like the engine, E-diff, ACC and styling. I agree that it was brought about due to the expense that each MKV cost and that the resulting cost save was successful for the most part. To call it a completely new car would be wrong, but then again to call it a revised MKV is too, so what do you call it?........

A bastardised Frankenstein's monster of a MKV purebred maybe?

Sums it up nicely. Can this be put to bed now?

As long as Kev is about, No.

Is it just me, or are there 3 different topics going on in this forum all speaking the same sh1te about whether a MK6 is actually an upgraded MK5 or not?!

This one, "New Golf Mk 7 rendering from Auto Express", and "Has anyone mistaken or called your MK6 a MK5???"....and they're all dominated by the same people giving the same opinion in all of them!

Yep, we're all getting a bit fed up up with it now.

To be fair I started this thread saying comments should be kept to the other threads and this was jist for the vote but clearly that was never gonna happen!
