Rabbit edition dilemma

[racerx20]

Well dilemma is probably an exaggeration but question for the masses. I've had my GTI for just over a year and being the old school nostalgia junky I am one of the first things I added to my car was this rabbit decal.

Now with the new Rabbit editions out I am wondering if I should remove the floppy eared little guy? To me the Golf will always be a Rabbit here in the states, and I do like the look. Ah screw it....he stays!!!

I once had a 2009 Rabbit. Not Golf, but Rabbit. I always got compliments on the badging as it only had a small rabbit logo where one would expect the GOLF to be.

If in your shoes, I’d remove the GTI and reposition the rabbit logo.

But that’s just me.

Was going with the Mk1 Rabbit GTI theme where the rear emblem had the red GTI and the Rabbit.

I see it now. But the rabbit logo is too big for my personal liking.

If you like it, that’s all that matters.

I always the thought the Golf name was a better choice. I also do remember the Rabbitt name. I would go only with Golf badge. Love the Golf Ball shift knobs.

I am with you, racerx20 - I think the Rabbit name and logo have more personality than Golf. Below is a little explanation of where 'Golf' comes from.

"The Volkswagen Golf is actually the German word for 'gulf'—as in 'the Gulf stream.' In fact, naming cars after prominent winds is kind of a thing for VW. 'Passat' is German for 'trade wind' and 'Jetta' is German for 'jet stream'.”

Up badging is a giant violation, just stop.

Meh....was done way before there was any knowledge up the new Rabbit edition.

I prefer the younger "fast" from the mk5 series, but i'm biased.

much love for the rabbit too though.

Only a Golf/Rabbit enthusiast would know the difference. I'd keep it on since you like it.
