New generation VW Golf (pics)

Longer and wider with more interior room and a lot of attention in the dynamic road behavior of the car, VW puts a little Phaeton in this new Golf (can you see it from front?).

There will be, get this, a 3.2 liter V6 availabel making 250HP, PLUS AWD! This thing will be at least as fast as our CLT 6MT I say





And believe it or not, in Europe, there will be a minivan type of Golf (this type of vehicle is called MPV in Europe). Actually the MPV will be the one out first to be sold next year.

Looks vaguely like a new Civic Si, except 4 doors. I saw one
(Civic Si) at the NY Auto show and recently at the dealer and I wasn't impressed at all. The stick is in a nice position, but the interior materials are cheap cheap cheap. I think I'd put up the extra money for a RSX if I was interesed in one.

I like 'em....

Look around and you'll see that there are TONS of new cars now with headlights that are more vertical than horizontal. Seems to be the modern design now.

Personally, I think the G35 Coupe will be one of the best looking cars on the road.

I really like the look of this car. It reminds me of the Peugeot 206. Gosh Peugeot makes hot cars, too bad they don't come to the states...

I thought it looked like the Civic also, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Hideously ugly. But it will sell with the Golf fans, particularly given the engine selection. I imagine we'll be seeing that same 250HP 3.2 liter V6 in the Passat...the Altima will no longer be the reigning king of HP.

Did I mention it's ugly?
