There will be numerous engine choices for the Golf including a new 1.6L TSI engine developing 200hp (147kW) as well as a high-performance 2.0L turbo version with 240hp (179kW) in the GTI model  (Taken from UKMKIV's)

Have some of that!

Looks fairly predictable/dull. Having said that the design of the Golf has never been anything other than mundane.

Mundane?  Yes, apart from the MkV GTI in my opinion.  I love how it looks, it's what attracted me to it in the first place.

(my 1st post since moving from Tyresmoke, so Hi all!)

Well considering that this is the basic model, it's ok i guess. The GTi and GT models will be much nicer.... i hope! Seems a bit plane, but i guess the entry level MKV is as well.

I like it. A bit subtle but the GTi will be awesome.

This is just the standard model, just like when the mark 5 was released , it looked boring. Wait for the GTI / R32/R36 to be released with different styling cues.

There wont be a .:R32. Its dead.

I like it, didn't think much of the MK5 when that was released, but as soon as I saw a GTI  :shocked:

Not sure about the Touareg rear lights though  :huh:

Its ok overall.  Rear end of the Mk5 looks better in my opinion - but then again I prefer the front to the rear when the Mk5 came out.  The standard Mk5 does look very boring though and this is an improvement.  Still not revolutionary.  The Mk5's certainly do not look outdate next to one of those, unlike a Mk4 GTI next to a Mk5.

yes the vibes from those Mk6 pics are the same of those 1st run pics of a basic Mk5 when it came out.

As long as Vw do something to seperate it from the other mainstream models including the R, im sure it will look great.

Im hoping its not gonna look too good, or ill end up chopping in for one if its got more then 230 bhp.

Hummm, I'm not sure it seems to be more bland the current model. As has been pointed out the rear lights really lack any kind of features which is a shame as I think the rear lights on the current rang (Including the jetta, passat, polo etc.) are really a work of art and remind me of the MKI MX5 which aredislayed in the New York Museum of design!

I guess I am the only one that thinks it looks alot better than the MkV when it was first realsed :cool:

The V took a fair few month of seeing them before they really grew on me. I would imagine it would be the same with the VI. In fact it wasnt until the gti was released that I even considered getting a golf... sad but true :laugh:
