2009 Volkswagen GTI Drops In On Paris, Brings Two Extra Doors

Matt Hardigree — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:46:00 EDT

We finally have live shots of the pre-revealed 2009 Volkswagen GTI and, not surprisingly, it looks like a 2009 Golf VI with a bit more edge. This time we get to see the two extra doors for the five-door GTI, which looks rather fetching in hot red. The lower, wider air dam and the red trim are clear indicators that this hatch means business. Combined with the wide-spoke wheels this is clearly a GTI. And under the hood?

The new GTI will be carrying over the 2.0-liter turbo four used in the previous generation Edition 30 MK V, which should be good for 207 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. It'll carry any VeeDubbers to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds with a top speed of 149 mph.

New VW Golf VI Euro Pricing Announced

The new VW Golf has barely appeared and already the volks at Volkswagen are giving us the starting price — 16,500€ (about $25,500) in Germany. This price is a hike of about 200€ over the current Golf V, and considering the updates you get in efficiency, power, and the reduced emissions — not to mention that lovingly attached Scirocco nose — the bump doesn't seem like such a bad deal. We're expecting a full pricing breakdown when the Golf makes its official debut at the Paris Motor Show; until then, direct comparisons to US pricing will be tough, but expect a similar increase when the new Golf hits US dealers next year.

New VW Golf VI Gets An Early Internet Unveil

Ray Wert — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 07:15:00 EDT

Here's a full load of shots of the next-generation Volkswagen Golf VI, revealed thanks to the magic of the Internet. If we're to believe the statements we've heard from our nation's VW team, the new Golf is expected to come stateside at the end of next year. While we don't have details on the engine range we'll be getting here in the U.S., overseas the sixth-generation of VW's Golf will more than likely get two oil-burners in the 1.9-liter and 2.0-liter TDI engines. On the gas-burning front, expect a 1.4-liter TSI plus a 1.8-liter and 2.0-liter TFSI engines under the hood. But the real news today are those pictures of the little bugger set to be officially revealed god knows when. Check them out below.
