I've watched several videos on the MK9, IMHO Volkswagen has another winner sure hope they bring it to North America.
Don't see why VW won't.

2026? That seems like an awfully short run for the MK8/8.5. Or is that the Europe launch date?

I’m just trying to figure out the last year I need to buy an ICE MK8.5 GTI lol. I’ll be driving EV’s forever after that, so I’d like one more 10+ year run of ICE GTI.

Most likely the europe launch since they release vehicles over there 2 yrs earlier before they get brought to the Us

Can someone remind me what GTI stands for

I don't think VAG as a group cares about that, there's a Taycan Turbo .

Grand Touring Injection -> Grand Touring Induction?

Doesn't seem terrible for what's inevitable. Better than a KIA.

Not a Golf, it is the ID. The Mk8 will be the last Golf GTI.

Yes, it’s the GTI concept of the forthcoming ID.2all EV which is a similar size to the Polo.
