The new VW Golf unvealed in July:

 

... YEESH!

 

damn thats sexy

 

That went the same way as the civic. What was a respectible looking car now looks like a weenymobile.

 

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?

 

Some history of VW Golf

MK I



Debut in 1975, with a 1.5L engine. A 1600 GTi model was introduced in 1976 and a 1800 GTi model in 1982.

 

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...

 

Looks like an Si now.

The HELL are people thinking?

I mean, look at the new Nissan shield grilles...those are just fugly, especially on the Sentras.

Designers have to get a massive grip.

 

MK II Golf (My fav)



MK III (The first gen with the VR6)



MK IV (R32 shown here)

 

1 part golf
1 part civic si

mix evenly, expect some lumps. tada!

mk v

 

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).

 

wow, after doing this, it really does look like the civic si. i still like it though. it's still the general golf shape. oh, and i screwed up on the interior, thats why the windows are hella tinted
