GTI Mark 6 WHEN?
« on: 15 April 2008, 13:42 »
Well we know the Mark 6 Golf is almost ready, anyone know for sure when it launches, and when the GTI will be available? I'm looking to get a second car later on this year/early next year, and a Mk6 would ROCK! (Depending on how it looks/goes of course!)

By the way, anyone wanting a website relating to the Mark 6, go and register it now  :smug:

MkVI is due next year, GTI is typically 6-12 months after launch.

I assume NewGolf knows something about the MK6?

I have been scouring the net for info and all the dealers I called could not give any information.

Please share what you know NewGolf.

I dont know any more than you guys (probably less!)
I'm thinking about making a website as a hobby called GolfMk6 or GolfMKVI at some point in the future and have booked a couple of domain names. The usual dot.com ones were already nabbed.

I need a second car but can make my old Mk4 last another year as a daily driver. Its just when i get in the new GTI that the wife uses I really want a new one now, but can hang on if the MK6 is imminent!

A few of the engines will carry over to the MkVI range, the GTI is rumoured to have a 230-250PS engine.  The MkVI is going to cost a lot less for VW to make, so it makes you wonder if the quality will be as good as the MkV.  There are strong rumours of a MkVI R36 which will be the MkV's R32 successor.

At the end of the day, no one knows anything concrete yet.  Just have to wait and see...

Had a bad day Rob?  :huh: :wink:

Its all good speculating. But the real question is do we all honestly believe the MK6 will be better than the MK5? Is it completely possible? Or will we have to wait three generations of golfs first?

steve78; Thats right about them making it cheaper to produce..
i was just reading the auto express magazine has a little article in it about the mk6 golf..
saying they think the quality will be a less than the mk5 golfs also the gti will have the 7speed dsg which has a seperate sump oil supply and can handle more toque as the dgs out now wouldnt handle as much as a tuned manual would.
plus the 1.6 models will have a turbo  :shocked:

....Hi Mike - No, my day has been okay so far. I see your point about another three Mk's before the next proper GTI but I reckon the Mk6 will have some great features mechanically - It's the body styling I'm not confident about yet. :cool:
