Mark VI R36 Golf?????

[Hatrick]

Does anyone know if this is actually gonna happen or not? Have heard reports of release early 2008, would like to have an early order in if this was the case.

There was alot of talk about this but not sure if it was gonna be a MKVI...pretty sure the pics i saw were of an MK5 "R36" but not to sure about it....personally not sure if it would be worth it....for 50hp more and that extra weight

What happened to all this VW marketing that the mk5 was gonna "go out with a bang" maybe thats what they meant, doubt they were on a bout the W12

From what I have seen of the MK6 its more for a facelift MK5 to be honest. And with the 'cost cutting' redesign for the MK6 us MK5 owners could still own the best built golf (in my opinion) for a while yet. Time will tell I guess.

Let's hope so

I dont think the build quality on the mk5 is anything special if anything it's probably worse than vauxhall/ford

You'll know in 15 years time when most Vauxhall and Ford cars will be rust buckets... just take a look at 15 year old Vauxhalls - if there are any around - and Fords and compare to VWs.  Of course, its a bit of a meaningless issue as most people don't keep their cars that long.

[TeddyKGB]

Aye, come 15 years you will probably have a point

Just given the number of shake rattle and rolls people have with them.

Still it's all superficial - I'm sure it's still a fine beast underneath

It's weird considering they've just launched the mk5 golf in the states and the mk6 is out in 2008 supposedly. Does that means wolfsburg will be making 2 generations of Golf
