Dont want to like it...hate hatchbacks...must not like...
Damnit, I give in. I like the looks of that fucker in the pics ext and int. the bottom body panels just need to painted thats it. Its pretty fucking hot. The world is ending....lol |
Looks pretty good. Bottom panels need to be painted and I'm not sure I'm too crazy about the rims, but the interior is HOT!
|
Now that is a HUGE improvement!!!
|
I'm a huge fan ... I read in the Oct Automobile mag that 300hp and AWD are in the pipe ... =o
Hell, that car as the R32 would kick ass ... Ford is talking about bringing the Cosworth Focus over too with 300hp and AWD ... if they bring the next Gen over, the fans of hot small cars are going to have a lot of nice choices |
That looks great. But everyone knows the GTI has turned from a light fun car to a heavy luxury hatchback, which makes no sense.
Bring back the fun! More HP does not=more fun. Bring it back to basics. Like the VW Polo. |
fucking hot. id rock it
|
a v-dub navi look out, car looks good. A little focus a little civic and you got a golf. Regardless if its got the right hp and awd, look out, too bad i'm sure its not going to be cheap no matter what. But i would consider it, would like to test drive
|
Interior looks hot but those new headlights have to go.
|

First review of the new VW Golf from Europe

For Volkswagen, the success of the new Golf is crucial, but it's going to have to be good to take the sales lead from the latest generations of the Vauxhall Astra and Ford Focus when the trio are launched in the spring. Auto Express has kicked off the competition by bringing you this exclusive first drive of VW's fifth-generation model to see if it's on a par with the high expectations of family car buyers. The question on everyone's lips is whether the engineers have fulfilled their brief to make the Golf as good to drive as a Focus. VW knew this wouldn't be easy, and decided the best way to give its newcomer the same sort of dynamic prowess as the Ford was to employ a similar suspension set-up. Out on the road, the four-link rear axle gives the Golf a far more agile feel, and provides much greater body control. Drive through a series of challenging bends and, where the old model would wallow, the new Golf tucks in and encourages you to push it harder. An astonishing 80 per cent stiffer than its predecessor, the new car is also more stable and smooth-riding on undulating surfaces. It's not quite as sporty as the current Focus, but it's not far away. VW's new electro-mechanical steering is equally impressive, avoiding the vagueness and lack of feedback that plagues similar systems from rivals. In fact, most drivers won't even notice the changeover from the conventional set-up fitted to the current car. It's a similar story with the styling. Approach the Golf and it looks instantly familiar - the thick C-pillar, the high waistline and the steep rear window are all part of an evolving shape that dates back to the late Seventies. As VW boss Bernd Pischetsrieder explains: "The only mistake the Golf can make is to stop being a Golf." However, what is noticeable is the increase in size. There's more legroom for rear seat passengers and the boot now has a 350-litre capacity - that's 20 litres more than the current Golf. Settle into the driver's ADVERTISEMENT seat and VW drivers will instantly feel at home. The dashboard is given a touch of class by Phaeton-style dials, while the centre console is similar to that of the Touran. At launch, the Golf will be available in both three and five-door bodystyles with 75bhp 1.4 and 115bhp 1.6-litre FSI petrol engines, plus either a 1.9-litre or 2.0-litre TDI diesel, all of which comply with strict new tax-friendly emissions targets. A new FSi version of the 1.4 will be added later, as will the 2.0-litre FSI which powers the car we drove. This engine has already been put to good use in Audi's A3, and it certainly complements the Golf's slick six-speed manual gearbox. The excellent DSG sequential system found in the Audi TT will also be available. Fire it up and the FSI is quiet and refined, but this only serves to emphasise the excessive wind and tyre noise at speed. Prices are yet to be announced, but customers can expect a slight increase over the cost of current versions. There will be no basic entry-level model, so the range is expected to start at around £12,500, while this 2.0 FSI three-door is likely to cost approximately £15,750. P44: Golf and Astra head to head |

Spy Shots: ’06 VW GTI - - A Paris debut for the German wundercar. - - by Brenda Priddy - - -Source: The Car Connection Volkswagen's hot Golf GTI was caught this week, four months before its anticipated introduction at the Paris Motor Show. Looking much like the GTI concept previously shown, the production GTI is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 200 horsepower. The GTI, sporting a huge front air dam, unique side skirts, dual stainless exhaust pipes, and 18-inch alloy wheels, is expected to reach showrooms early next year. http://www.thecarconnection.com/imag...8043_image.jpg http://www.thecarconnection.com/imag...8044_image.jpg |

But who knows :) |
Here are some details about it if you have the patience to read. FYI... :)
================ New VW Golf GTI Details Courtesy: www.germancarfans.com http://www.germancarfans.com/news/20...923.006.1M.jpg http://www.germancarfans.com/news/20...923.006.2M.jpg The coolest GTI of all times makes its début in Paris - Fast: Turbo FSI in the new Golf GTI produces 235 km/h - Independent: GTI front section, GTI sport seats, GTI wheel rims, GTI cockpit The Golf GTI is a cult object. Number produced: more than 1.5 million. 93.2 percent of all Europeans recognise it. To them, Grand Tourisme Injection means driving pleasure, great handling and vehicle perfect. And now the new Golf GTI is here: Its launch phase is being started at the Paris Motor Show. The new model was shown for the first time as a study at the IAA in Frankfurt. The world premiere of the series version will be in Paris. Volkswagen is keeping its word and – as announced precisely one year ago – is launching the fifth Golf GTI generation on the first European markets in the autumn. It is thus closing the circle by linking back up to the original version in the series. Faster, more powerful and more independent than ever. A Golf GTI in the pure sporting tradition, honest and striking. GTI performance: The Golf GTI, which is available in both a two-door and four-door version, is powered by an agile 200 hp FSI turbo engine (147 kW). With a six-speed gearbox as standard, the ultra-modern four-cylinder engine pushes the front-wheel-drive Golf GTI from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds. To accelerate from 60 to 100 km/h in 5th gear, the GTI, which can reach 235 kg/h, needs just 7.5 seconds. Average fuel consumption is an economical 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres. In the DSG version with automatic Direct Shift Gearbox, the Golf GTI can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h even faster – in 6.9 seconds. Please note: we're talking about the automatic version here. The efficiency of the Direct Shift Gearbox can be seen if we look at the average fuel consumption of the Golf GTI with DSG: 7.9 litres. In addition to the fully automatic mode, the automatic can also be switched on using keys on the optional multifunction steering wheel. THE GOLF GTI ENGINE: A dynamic combination of direct injection and turbo charger GTI Turbo: The 2.0 T-FSI in the Golf GTI has a high compression ratio of 10.5:1 and stands out because of its powerful torque (280 Newton metres between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm) as the ideal sports car engine. For the first time, Volkswagen is using a direct injection petrol engine with exhaust turbo charger for this 1,984 cc four-cylinder. In detail, the 2.0 T-FSI uses the advantages of a homogenous direct fuel injection and combines it for the first time with the powerful benefits of a turbocharger. This has dynamic consequences: outstanding torque, an excellent response and driving pleasure at its best. In design terms, the new engine harks back to the 110 kW / 150 hp 2.0 FSI (model series EA-113, 88 mm cylinder spacing) with coated direct petrol injection, as already used in the Golf. The main objectives in the development of the turbocharged FSI with its even more sporty, homogenous combustion, were, in terms of typical GTI characteristics, a clear improvement in performance whilst retaining the existing low consumption and emission values. Thanks to the core technologies of "direction injection" + "exhaust turbo charger" + "continuous intake camshaft adjustment" + "variable plastic controlled intake manifold" + further measures inside the engine, a very high level of efficiency was achieved. Like all Golf engines, the 2.0 T-FSI meets the requirements of the EU4 standard. Alongside all the technical features, when it comes down to it, the new four-valve four-cylinder engine exactly fits the sportily agile character of the GTI without loosing any of the comfort and economy that have made the GTI so superb for everyday use for so long. THE GOLF GTI EXTERIOR: A GTI through and through from every angle The new Golf GTI is clearly a GTI from almost every angle and every distance. This applies for the front section in particular: For the first time in almost 30 years of the GTI, it is completely different from the other Golf models in terms of its totally independent radiator grill design. And so, more than ever, this front section succinctly expresses the GTI look. And that means: a black radiator grill with a red frame strip. GTI-Front: The "grid" of the radiator grill is made up of a honeycomb structure. The same is true of the recesses for the fog lamps which are located to the left and right of the lower radiator grill element and designed in the style of additional air inlets. Between the lower and upper part of the radiator grill, a shiny black painted cross-piece with side lines rising upwards in a V shape creates a two-dimensional connection. With this completely new, powerful design, the integrated front spoiler below and the 15 mm lower sports running gear, the Golf GTI seems to suck up the road and the air in front of it like a racing car. Other visual GTI features: the darkened headlight frame (or in light chrome with Xenon) and, or course, the GTI lettering incorporated into the grid. GTI tail: In the tail sector, it is the striking roof edge spoilers, the polished stainless steel double exhaust pipe ends (diameter: 2 x 70 mm), the newly designed lower bumper and, once again, the GTI logo that characterise this Golf as a sports car. The tail spoiler, which is larger than the Golf Trendline, Comfortline and Highline, takes on (like its earlier counterpart) a clear aerodynamic function by increasing the contact pressure of the Golf GTI, which can reach 235 km/h, on the road. GTI Outline: GTI equipment and design elements also dominate the vehicle's outline: Here, it is the 17" alloy wheels (type: Denver) fitted as standard, with the 225/45 tyres, the lowering of the running gear described above, the red painted brake callipers of the particularly stable 16" brake system, combined as standard with ESP, discreet black sill extensions and a black high-gloss baffle at the B pillars that give the GTI its extra flair GTI colours: The colours used for the exterior of the GTI also reflect its sporty appeal. There are colours, after all, which go more perfectly with the interplay of the black and red GTI specifications and the 17" alloy wheels (fitted as standard) than others. "Tornado Red" and "Plain Black" for example, or "Candy White", a shade similar to that offered for the original GTI. In addition, the Golf GTI is available in "Pearl Blue", "Black Magic Pearl Effect", "Reflex Silver Metallic", "Blue Graphite Pearl Effect", "United Grey Metallic", "Shadow Blue Metallic" and "Laser Blue Pearl Effect". THE GOLF GTI INTERIOR: A new sports seat unit for a new GTI generation If there is any such thing as a classic interior, then this description applies to the first GTI from 1976. The interior of the new Golf GTI shows the same kind of unique attitude, with the technologies and stylistic devices of the 21st century. GTI sport seats: The newly designed GTI seat unit provides maximum comfort with excellent side hold and a sporting look. The high backrests and visually integrated yet adjustable headrests create an atmosphere of unusually sporty practicality. Its breathable "Interlagos" seat covers, whose classic design harks back to the look of the first generation of GTI seats, have also been newly developed. "Anthracite" and "Pure Beige" leather seats are also available as an option. The GTI lettering integrated into the headrest is yet another sign of the love of detail expressed in the interior. GTI interior details: Like the first Golf GTI, the new generation also features a three-spoke steering wheel with aluminium decoration. Today, however, it is covered with perforated leather as standard, which gives an excellent grip. aluminium is also featured on the GTI gear stick, the decorative inserts (brushed aluminium) and the pedals. Another typical GTI feature is the black roof lining. Even the instruments have been designed specially for the GTI: The rev counter goes up to 8,000 rpm and the speedometer has been extended to the higher ranges. The instruments are enclosed in a smart aluminium frame. The range of equipment of the GTI also includes as standard – in addition to all the features in the Trendline package – a multifunction display (on-board computer), front foot well lighting, automatic dimming interior mirror with light and rain sensor, the Coming-Home/Leaving-Home light function, which can be controlled from inside, and a tyre pressure monitoring display. Like the entire range, the GTI is also fitted with a complete safety package, including ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Program), crash-active front headrests, three headrests in the back and six airbags. THE GOLF GTI-RUNNING GEAR: 15 millimetres less and yet lots more GTI sports running gear: The safety running gear known from the fifth generation Golf with the front suspension strut and rear multi-link axle has been made much more dynamic for use in the new Golf GTI. The crucial steps that have been taken are its lowering by 15 mm to sports running gear level and the use of stronger stabilisers. In addition, the electromechanical servo steering has also been "reprogrammed" with a GTI operating map. GTI brakes: The braking system has naturally also been adapted to the superb driving performance of the Golf GTI. Firstly, the GTI is slowed down by a new 16" brake, and secondly, the ESP regulates the vehicle in a GTI-like way, i.e. neither exaggeratedly early and intensively, nor too late or too weakly. The linings of the red painted brake callipers enclose the internally ventilated disc brakes at the front, with a diameter of 312 mm and disc brakes at the rear with a diameter of 286 mm. In combination with the Dual Brake Assist system provided in the Golf as standard, this gives results that make braking just as much a pleasure as accelerating. HISTORY OF THE GOLF GTI: 5,000 GTIs have become 1,500,000 GTI generations: The first series Golf GTI was launched in June 1976. The plan originally was to produce a limited edition of just 5,000. But things turned out differently. The 81 kW / 110 hp Golf GTI with a top speed of 182 km/h conquered a new clientele and formed the basis for the GTI class. 5,000 GTIs turned into more than 1.5 million. Here is a list of the main milestones in the life of the Golf GTI up to the premiere of the fifth generation: 1976: The first generation Golf GTI with 81 kW makes its début 1979: Facelift 1982: Introduction of the special "Pirelli-GTI" model 1982: Golf GTI now produces 82 kW 1984: Début of the second generation Golf GTI 1984: Introduction of the catalytic converter (78 kW instead of 82 kW) 1985: Facelift, double headlights and double exhaust pipe ends 1986: Début Golf GTI 16V (102 kW without cat., 95 kW with cat.) 1990: Launch of Golf GTI with G60 engine (118 kW) 1991: Début of third generation Golf GTI with 85 kW 1996: Presentation of the anniversary model: "20 years of GTI" 1996: Introduction of Golf GTI with 110 kW (turbo engine) 1996: Launch of the Golf GTI TDI with 81 kW 1998: Début of fourth generation Golf GTI with 110 kW petrol engine (1.8 T), 110 kW petrol engine (V5 / later 125 kW), 81 kW TDI, 85-kW-TDI (later 96 kW) 2000: Launch of Golf GTI TDI with 110 kW 2001: Launch of Golf GTI with 132 kW turbo (first as special model: "25 years of GTI") 2004: Debut of fifth generation Golf with 147 kW GOLF GTI DATA: Comparison of the 1st and 5th generations http://www.germancarfans.com/news/20...006.Mini8M.jpg |
Couple of things:
I love the red on the exterior ... reminds me of old Rabbit GTIs I do not like the fact that the interior looks like a nice version of a 2.0 Golf MkV interior. Where's the distinction that comes with a GTI interior? Very nice looking but very disappointing that it's so completely bland. |
Weight, 1320 kilos vs 820 kilos. And there lies the problem with the current GTi and the ones of the past 10 years.
|
Still too heavy. And too expensive. And why the grill blackout. Looks like an Audi.
GTi was great 20 years ago. Times have changed and GTi really doesn't matter anymore. |

Be pretty cool if the dsg makes it the US. Should be a decent performer with the new suspension, turbo engine. Wonder what they have in store for the vr6 gti.
