Supercharged 2 Posted April 24, 2006 Picked up a copy of autoexpress over the weekend with a MK6 golf on the front! - can't believe no one has started a thread about this yet! Looks real enough to me from the pics and it's interesting as just as the mkV had started to grow on me since the GTi came out, there are still a few styling bits I don't quite like and these seem to have been fixed looking at the pics... 2008 release set which has been brought fwd as the MKV is not making much money due to it's build quality being 'too' high! - just seems strange as if i was a mk4 owner looking to upgrade I'd probably now wait for the new mark...

PhillT 0 Posted April 25, 2006 don't like it! why make it look like a rebadged audi? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 25, 2006 it looks ALOT like an A3, in fact if you took the VW badge off and asked me to guess which it was, I'd get it wrong. Probability says it wont look like that once its finalised anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claret Badger 0 Posted April 25, 2006 allegedly the mk5 costs too much to make hence they will be bringing fwd the release of mk6 earlier HTH source - CAR magazine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VWRobboVW 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Looks ok from the front but need to see the all important 'rear shot' before commenting any more... Here some more, including the rear shot, looks a bit different from the autoexpress cover from the front though, wonder why that is? There seems to be a few different looks here http://www.3harts.nl/VWgolfVI/ Robbo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted April 25, 2006 think i read somewhere that the 1.4 version mkvi had a charger and a turbo? should be interesting! Thats 1.4 TSI engine is already available on the mkV - the mkV will use a 2 litre verison of it!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timo. 0 Posted April 25, 2006 I hear rumours of an R36??? Yup, its getting the 3.6 v6 out of the passat. between 280-300 bhp. 0-60mph - 6 secs 19 inch Lamborghini Gallardo still rims. Looks the dog $$£$^ in black. Supposed to be more driver focused and less refined than the R32 due to the R32's lack of character! Coming out early next year. The final flagship before the mk6 comes out. T. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
