Yet another offspring from the flexible Golf platform, this jacked-up 4x4 has been codenamed Freestyle, and it is due for launch at the Frankfurt motor show in September. To sit under the Touareg in VW's off-piste offerings, it will employ Volkswagen's 4Motion four-wheel drive system. It's intended as a serious mud-plugger (not a faux-4x4 like the Polo Dune) and will finally give Volkswagen a contender in the mid-size off-roader market dominated by Nissan's X-Trail and Land Rover's Freelander. The body is similar to that of the newly-launched Golf Plus, though the Freestyle sits much higher than this semi-MPV Golf variant.

That looks horrible! :puke:
 
i don't know what to say ... i'm speechless ... normally when this happens with a car, it's usually because i'm in awe of it's beautiful look, but in this case, i think it's because i just regurgitated my dinner :lol:

it's strange tho, b'cuz it reminds me of different cars on the road, like a shrunken lexus sc430, or a really long smart car, baby toureg? hehe .. either way it's an eyesore
 
I would have to agree with zenon, if that's the production body, but it may not be, they may doing what Ferrari did w/the Scag. body and the 575 replacement.
Short overhangs are good tho :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, at first I thought that was a pretty poor disguise. Then I realised, that was what the actual car looked like. :yucky:

Even the test drivers are looking at the camera going "What did we do to deserve this?"
 
Did chris bangle start working for VW?

that is horrific! it look like they jacked up a golf and ran it into a wall...look at the serious kink in the bonnet! i hope they change that before it goes into production.

im a big fan of the Golf V but that is criminal. :thumbsdown:

Yeah it looks like they had a clay model that they left outdoors. It rolled into a wall and no one noticed, so they built it as is. :lol:
 
Yoyoyo wanna rap?
My new car is crap.
It looks like a polo.
It can't go with the flow.
You can't race with it,
I have to admit.
It's the worst VW ever seen,
now get me some more caffiene.
 
That hood is so short, it looks like a crippled duck :D
Well that won't ever make it to production, VW has hopefully some quality control.
 
If VW is reading this...just junk it please.
 
As horrible as it looks, it's not totally unexpected either. VW has a Offroad tradition with the Golf.
Remember the Golf Country ?
