Mk6 Golf
« on: 19 April 2006, 12:47 »
Just been reading this weeks autoexpress. Has pics of Mk6 Golf. Out in 2008.
Mk6 been brought forward to keep th Golf on top of the game.

Based on current Mk5 platform with tweaks, plus new engines and new dash and new bodyshell.
Looks realy nice. much more Audi looking.
 :cool:

Oh...and details of the Mk5 R36 as well. estimated to be 280-300 bhp !  :evil:

I was lead to believe that this was brought forward to get costs down rather than stay on top of the game. If I remember rightly VW make next to nothing on the MKV as it's too costly to produce. THe new car is simpler in design to maximise profit but keep the good handling etc etc.

I must say the MKVI looks damn nice too.

Why do they insist on that bloody grill??!

What VWs from history had a grill like that? Audi can trace its roots back a lot further than VW, and they actually had cars with the full length grills, but VW can't...

Give it a decent grill, and stop stealing (even tho they own them) ideas from Audi, VW!

That is mentioned. Keeping "on top of the game" is in relation to the bluetooth, ipod dock, toys etc...

When I went to Wolfsburg in Feb, they even have the MK VII designed too, they said on the factory tour that all the cars are designed 10 years before production.

I also believe the R36 to be a myth, they said they were gonna do it with the MK V and then changed thier minds cause of the running costs :undecided:
