New VW Golf Gets Officially Official
The slow trickle of information on the new VW Golf has now become a deluge with VW releasing official information on the German Rabbit. We've already heard what the European pricing will be, and now, thanks to the press release, we can see the turbodiesel engine range will have common-rail direct-injection and be available with power levels of: 90 HP, 110 HP, 140 HP, and 170 HP. The TSI gas engines will put out 80 HP, 102 HP, 122 HP and 160 HP. Now keep in mind, that's the European engine range. Ours here in the US will likely be different. Either way, the GTI and other hot variants are still unknown. More » -

New VW Golf VI Gets An Early Internet Unveil
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. More »
