2013 Volkswagen Golf VII GTI concept revealed

[swfloridamk6]

I like the design I will be surprised if the red in the headlights makes it into production.

Let us pray!

Well I think it's pretty spot-on for the exterior looks I really like it. And considering how oddly we first looked at the MK6, I think the MK7 will be a dasher, we'll get "used to it"

Love the interior, but WTF have they done to the nice chunky MK6 steering wheel and the seats with those ridiculous head restraints

Anyone notice the 5 door seems longer than the 3?? http://jalopnik.com/5946838/say-gutentag-to-volkswagens-all-new-red-stripey-golf-gti

i would be very very surprised if there is a size difference between the two. People say the four door mk6 looks bigger too.

 

[TAZZ1]

myea you're probably right

Here's a few pictures I scanned not too long ago with the dimensions of both the mk VI and VII

I'll scan it up during the weekend and post it either later tonight or tomorrow. I've got hockey training in the evening


I'm also going to be in Wolfsburg next Monday, so if you guys have any questions to the engineers or whatever I can relay them.

They probably will not say a word about this but ask :
What engine will MK7 R use, the new TFSI found on the S3?
Will they use the 7 DSG (wet clutch) found on the TTRS?
Haldex 4 or newer?

Thx!

Pretty sure it will be the drive train of the S3.

It will be the 5th gen of Haldex though: http://www.ausmotive.com/2009/04/19/haldex-extends-awd-partnership-with-volkswagen.html

Anyone know if the quality of the interior has been kept instead of dumbing down like the crappy jetta inside?

I'm only going by photos, but the materials appear to be exactly the same as those in my Mk6.

I hope they ditch the red stripe in the lights, I thi k that looks tacky.
