MKVI?

[sneezier07]

First post here. Thought I would share what I found at www.worldcarfans.com. I would like to know what everyone thinks.

Sorry if this is a repost. Maybe someone else here can post the pictures until I can figure it out.

Thank gooodness there is not much of a difference I just got my MKV :biggrin: ...

AH-HA.

I think it might just be a face lift and not a whole new chassis. It looks like a regular Golf 5 but with a Jetta front end. Factory Jofl?

Yup, it's just a facelift. The R36 gets the Thunderbunny front? Meh...like the R32's better.

These are old pics. The "R36" is not an R36; it's a Golf RSI. VW used the R32 badge to throw people off.

aaaaaah. Worried for a moment there.

Wich would be the exact same lights that are currently used...... don't get why you think they would look bad?

No fog's in the MKVI GTI??:iono: ..those fogs make the GTI look better than an R32 in the front IMO.

Maybe he means the ones on the roof?

I'm pretty sure the ones on the roof will be optional

IF these are pictures of an next Golf/GTI....I don't think it would be considered a MkVI. Like Chris2021 said....prbly not a chasis change.

I think the jetta front would be a much better look for the baseline golf/rabbit than the current setup. just my opinion.

when will this be out...im gettin my GTI in may and i really hope the style does NOT change before then i like the current GTI

Wow, you guys know nothing about the motors in these things I guess. They're not even calling it the MKVI. They're turbo diesels that get 75mpg(74.6), and are "quick" (inspired by that Audi TDI race turbo diesel stuff). I think it's going to be in the Jetta in 2009 here 2.0T diesel.

I'm almost certain it's on the exact same, or extremely similar frames/chassis, what have you (Golf, Polo, Jetta/Bora), they just have facelifts, as they should: the motor makes them a totally different vehicle, totally aimed at the MPG market. They are really badass, though.
