Saw a strage GTI yesterday. Maybe MK8

[GOLF NUTT]

Based on the article at the link below, the picture looks to be render of the mk8 Golf GTI from last year.

If the car the OP saw resembles that car I’d say it’s not a Polo GTI - the Polo GTI doesn’t have those ‘C‘ shaped daytime running lights in the bumper; those daytime running lights were definitely a signature of the mk7 Golf GTE. The render in the first post has those small triangle shaped windows between the A pillar and the leading edge of the front doors - another feature of the Golf (the Polo doesnt have those).

Here‘s a current model Polo GTI;

Looks like it's the NEW POLO as the license plate indicates.
SO much better looking front end than the MK8 GTI please VW give us the Polo as the MK8 GTI is so darn UGLY.

This! I see these everywhere in the bay area. In fact, I see more E-golfs than regular golf, GTI and R's combined.

Tell me about it, they're a dime a dozen out here.

It had to be an e-Golf, which is a rarity in this area. Rare enough that I to would probably be confused if I saw one on the streets. I don't think I've ever seen one except for one a dealer lot.

I've only seen one of them on the road in NY. It definitely stood out. The limited range made them pretty impractical for this area. :/
