the rear looks like a mini touareg. I'm not diggin it. But overall it's not too bad. It'll grow on me I'm sure.

I really missed the squared off angles of the MKIV which the MKV doesn't deliver on (but still manges to look good). IMO this looks more like an MKIV inspired design.

I don't know about the Eos, but I thought the Tig interior was the same for all markets, guess I'm missing something?

I'm with you. Taillights lose brand identity IMO, and the whole thing lacks the GTI spirit.

Well the model shown seems to be a regular Golf, so maybe the GTI package will add some more pizzaz. I'm also not diggin the wheels, but based on the pizza dish wheels seen here, I'm willing to bet that's it's vortex approved.

I like everything EXCEPT the tail lamps. Just looks like they were trying too hard to force the styling.

It would be cool to see the MKVI's US debut @ LA '08, but that may be wishful thinking. As for the GTI, I predict Geneva '09.

A lot. This car was designed to be more inexpensive to produce than the MKV, which is the opposite. With that said the basic underpinnings are all MKV. However, with modifications. What those are exactly I don't know but we'll know soon enough. There are quite a few articles on this.

my biggest fear is that they'll screw up the rear suspension, which they've always sited as very costly on the MkV. the rear irs of the MkV is one of the best features of the car. Let's hope the handling and ride are as good as the MkV's or better.

I'm sure it will grow on me. It'll have to be pretty superior to the mkv in performance for me to trade though. I want to see the gti. The golf looks pretty bland.Edit: I agree that it looks a lot like a mkv.5 on the interior. It is VERY similar. It looks like they just took a mkv interior and tweeked it a bit very unlike what they did with the mkv-mkv.

You can see the split half way down the taillight... Looks like a similar setup to the MKV. Just like the MKV, everyone's going to hate it, and I'll be part of the minority and say YES PLEASE.  I can't wait to see the GTI variant.

yeah i really was tired of the torsion beam rear axle I hope they at least stay with a similar set up.So u think this kills any chances of the Scirocco coming here? Isn't the US not getting the MkVI Golf/rabbit. I would pick up a scirocco if it came here

Most people hated on the MkV when it was introduced, myself included. It took me a while to get used to the new styling. Now when I look at the MkIV it looks really dated. .02

even though these are renderings, it doesn't look like they've fixed the e-brake/armrest problem. i hate the mk5 tails, and still do. this looks like they're going back to that 'german' horizontal slat look, which i approve; but they should lose the "round" part of it altogether.
I don't ship anything.

If you get a 2-door Rabbit, you don't have the armrest / ebrake problem.
