I'm hoping VW are going to suprise us all (in a pleasant way :wink:), but I'm not holding my breath.

The MKVI looks like it is basically going to be a MKV and a half as it will have basically the same suspension although simplified for manufacture and the same basic engine types.

Internally I hope the MKVI will have the uprated DSG box along with the adjustable suspension like the Scirocco is having.

I still think it is at least 2 years off before we see the MKVI GTI as VW have just launched the Pirelli edition and that is going to take a while to sell through the system. Then the MKVI has to be launched and then about a year before the GTI makes an appearance around spring 2010 probably :undecided:

I cant wait that long!  :sick:

I guess I love the MK5 so much it may be a tornado red soon then, ready to be modded methinks! I just popped to the garage to get a bottle of wine in the GTI. A cute girl in a Saxo came out of the shop behind me and commented "Sexy car!" as I got in! She was about 18 to 20 years old.

If I was a bit younger I'd have shown her how it goes.... :smug: :smug: :smug:

The GTI I meant lol!

MK6 Gti will have a 1.6 twincharger engine in it, mark my words.

Similar power to the current gti with better emissions.

I seriously hope not, I'm hoping it has the same engine as the ED30. I'm going to do a bit of investigation today......

....In ignorance I ask why is it a problem if it has a twincharger engine?

Purly my personal preference  :laugh:
I feel that with a supercharger and a turbocharger on a small displacement engine VW are trying to squeeze every last bit of power and fuel economy possible. With the ED30 its already quite simple to increase the HP to well over 300 with a healthy amount of torque, but with the amount of power being produced from the smaller units would there be any way as much margin for gain?
Not only that but it they sound a bit "wheezy" (only my opinion) and there's a heck of a lot going on under the bonnet to go wrong!
