Volkswagen was planning to unveil the sixth generation of its popular Golf model this week, but the internet strikes again with a preview of the new people's hatch ahead of its official reveal. Information is limited so far and comes primarily from bloggers who don't speak the Queen's English, but from what we can tell the next-generation Golf will be larger than the current model. Indeed, it does appear to be a bit wider and maybe even lower than the current model. Might we even see some hints of the Scirocco in its design, as well? Our source indicates that the range of engines available with the Golf VI will include a 1.4L TSI, 1.8L TFSI and maybe even the 2.0L TFSI, while diesels will include the company's 1.9L and 2.0L TDI motors. A manual, automatic and DSG transmission will also be on the spec sheet. Contrary to some reports, VW of America has said that the new Golf will be sold in the U.S., though not until late next year. That's all we know for now, and it's admittedly basic stuff, so stay tuned this week for the official word from Volkswagen.

I like it though the rear is a tad boring.

So they've gotten rid of the massive chrome slab on 2002-2007 VWs and are going for what they had on MkIII's? Hm, seems like a step backwards if you ask me.

Sure is cute tho. And I like the wheels.
 
I think it's an improvement over the current model. I'm not a fan of headlights and taillights that seem massive on a car. This looks a bit more professional, the way German cars should be.

Can't wait to see the GTi and R32 trim.
 
The back is quite squashed, looks like it's doing a poo.

Looks good otherwise! I like the front.
 
Well, look at th.... zZzZzZzZzZ
 
The back is the weakest link - but the rest I'm liking. Discretely aggressive. The GTi and R32 should be awesome, especially if they have the circular tails lights like the old ones had. But I don't see that happening.
 
It's way too much Scirocco-like. i can't decide if it's good or bad.
 
it looks like a tonned down Sirocco, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
 
Looks nice. Less fat-boy looking than the current one.
 
Golf or Scirocco? Spot the 10 differences!

I think this is the slowest evolving car ever. It looks almost exactly like the V, which in turn looked exactly like the IV
 
I like it! :D Its a nice progression from the last model, although it seems a bit early for replacement time :p
 
Four-door Scirocco! :thumbsup:

the front looks great. Just like a scirocco.
but i reckon the back is going to date dramatically. It's too squared and in a couple of years, it'll start looking old
already, the back looks like a mark 4 golf
and the front is too small in comparison to the back. it just isnt balanced

but its still a nice car,
today

edit: having said that though, i reckon there's a hell of a lot of potential for the GTI and the R32. Especially with that scirocco style front
 
You mean, four-door UGLY Scirocco. Couldn't VW do better than this? Reminds the Porsche 911, always the same.
 
forget the R32 and start hoping for R36. :cool:
