This car will be in market in early part of 2004.

Some specs:
Length: 4,204 mm (57mm long than MK IV)
Width: 1,759mm (24mm more than MK IV)
Height: 1,483mm (39mm more than MK IV)

With new chassis, the MK V Golf is 80% more rigid than the MKIV. The new car will also have ESP system, power-assisted brakes, and 6 sets of airbags. The engines that are current featured will be the 1.9L and 2.0L (105/104hp) Diesel engines and the 1.4L and 1.6L (105hp/140hp) gasoline engines. In 2005, there will be a 2.0 turbo engine (200hp) for the Turbo Gti model and there will be the AWD VR6 R32 model.

Really? "2 0 T" just doesn't roll off the tongue. Is it the same engine other than displacement with 20 valves?

That, I'm not sure. I am thinking this might only be the speculation, not a confirmed fact.

The 1.8T is working wonders now, and I am not sure VW will switch to another engine that quick...

OOOOOOH, the Mk. I's and II's are dead sexy. Love the twin headlights and red surround trim on the Mk. II especially. Now if only I could get my hands on an Audi Sport Quattro (KING of the now defunct Group B).
