Is it just me wondering if the mk 7 facelift and the mk 8 are one and the same car?!
I believe it's a MK7 facelift as I doubt VW will change the MQB platform so soon given VW's financial situation.
MK8 should come in 3-4 years as a guess.
Depends where VW go with it.
The mk6 was a mk5 facelift where as the same generation A3 and Leon just got facelifts.
The MQB A3 is getting a facelift so the Golf could go either way, it might get a mild facelift soonish or they may do a major facelift in a couple years and call it a MK8.
The platform is adaptable enough.
