Not sure they could make any less effort on that ED50. Couple of numbers from a birthday cake, give us your money fcuk you very much.
So much potential. So much arrogance.
Yep 
I think VW will make more of an effort with the Ed50 GTI in a couple years as it’s a halo brand in its own right.
No real surprises for me that the cooking Golf 50th Anni is just a few badges, it’s not exactly a model range that pulls at the heartstrings especially in an era where SUV’s win hands down on an increasing majority’s want list.
A few badges and an advertising campaign is all it needs for non performance models that’ll just slip into obscurity next year until some intrepid collectors suddenly rediscover a few in a couple decades time for their YouTube channels (or whatever medium equivalent it is by then).
I mean how excited was the world when VW launched the Golf and Polo Genesis editions in 1992 or whenever it was, and exactly how sought after would a rusty one be now compared to a 20th Anni GTI mk3?
And the Genisis models did at least have some unique bits and paint job. Nobody cared. The VR6 Highline a year or so later people did get excited about, and all that was really was a different colour leather inside, because the VR6 like the GTI did spike a bit of emotion in people.
A regular Golf is just a regular Golf, sticker kit or full on bodykit.
