The best indication of the Mk7 yet?
« on: 25 July 2012, 10:05 »
Apologies that this is in German but :-

http://www.autobild.de/artikel/vw-golf-vii-vorschau-3529031.html

A few pointers

Bildgallerie = the piccy section (and there is a rendering of the GTi in there)

The Antrieb section talks about power plants. 220 bhp for the GTi, 290bhp for the R and they haven't discounted an RS with 375bhp

Preis, mehr Golf fur mehr Geld = more money but you get more for it. Meanwhile, it says VW will make even more money out of each one cos it's cheaper to build.

40 to 100 kg lighter.
Lots of other technical stuff which I won't bore you with.

If it's going to look remotely like that then I'm even happier I took the plunge now!

Translated version http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autobild.de%2Fartikel%2Fvw-golf-vii-vorschau-3529031.html&act=url

Proof if ever anyone needed it that Google Translate doesn't work!!!!! Total nonsense and nothing anywhere near what the German is saying!!!!

Personally, the car looks just like a Mk6 to me i.e. rather staid and dull. It does put the GTi down at 6 secs 0-60 due to the weight loss but it's just a little bit underwhelming and boring for me now.

Well the point of the gti was to be a peoples fast affordable practical car. But now it's getting further out of "people's" reach.

To be honest tho the looks will put people off first!
