Golf 7 Revealed by Euro Media (low res) Spoiler alert

[phaeton]

5.30am CST & 6.00am EST

This makes me me angry that a media outlet has revealed the Golf prior to VW unveil.

I have only linked these images as I don't want everyone to be spoiled

If you choose to wait until Wednesday for the HQ images don't click on the links.

True, I guess in some way it is the manufacturers fault for giving the images in the first place.

Ok everyone the last 2 images are photoshop from Autobild and quite possible the first 3 are to, I may have been duped, we'll find out Wednesday morning.

Maybe it's part of VW's marketing to leak a bit just before launch. To create a bit of hype? Stir interest? Or put expectations in perspective as the mk vii looks so close to the previous on the external surface. I'm loving the front face. Especially with those hid lights with continuous looking LEDs.

I don't like hatchbacks but I like looking at the golf to see what I should expect in the next jetta.

nice! I like it.

[Candyman]

It looks like a .....










Golf.

[OYE]

I am expecting a front that looks closely to the Touareg's.
I won't be disappointed with the interior for sure; I trust the Germans!
I'm only hoping they do nail the rear design. Alfa Rome Guilietta is the one to
beat in that area!

A German mate translated the main points of the article linked to above:













1) NOBLE. The new Mk7 will have the best interior quality in its category, electronic parking brake as an optional equipment, sports seats...

2) LIGHTER. It will be max. 100 kg lighter than its predecessor and it is as light as MkIV. (1050 kg)

3) SAFER. VW has equipped the new Golf with lots of advanced driver assistance systems such as pre-crash system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, driver drowsiness detection (Fatigue detection system) and so on. /those systems are actually pretty basic nowadays. :p

4) AGILE. VW says the that new generation is more comfortable and sportier as well than the previous Golf. The electronic differencial XDS is now standard on all versions.

5) EFFICIENT. It is 23% more efficient than the old one. 1.4 TSI 140hp: 4.8L/100 km, 1.6 TDI? 105hp: 3.8L/100 km. /Auto Motor und Sport says that 1.2 TSI will be the basic engine.

6) BIGGER. It is 5.6 cm longer (4260 mm), 1.3 cm wider (1800), wheelbase is 2637 mm. Also, there is more space in the interior.

7) MORE PRACTICAL

looking at the audio head unit seems like it will be a no go for mk6 .... :(

[DoggieHowser]

What's with the obsession with electronic brakes? Even the new Boxster gets one!??

Dw we won't get the GTI in Oz that soon ;)

Can't wait!!!

Previous Golfs have had their pics been leaked by now, sometimes days ahead of schedule.. this is the most secure new Golf release I've ever seen.. nothing of any note has emerged only a few hours before the embargo time.

[Rawcpoppa]

The times in this thread say 6.00 AM EST. Hasn't that time passed already with no info?

Nevermind. 6.00 AM EST on the 5th September for you guys in Australia.

Looks like official pictures may be out.

Looks conservative...

[Ryan_R]

Notice the DSG it has D/S together

Then on the nav system the buttons say Radio, Media, Phone, *Voice*, Nav, Traffic, *Car*, Setup. Perhaps Car replaces some older MFD settings, surely it's not an OBD2 tool.

Also don't like the side mirror controls facing that way similar to the current Jetta, found it harder to move the mirrors precisely compared to it's current orientation on the Mk6 Golf.

Hard to tell but is the accelerator pedal not coming up from the floor this time?

Climatronic buttons in a row along the top as before, hard to get the one you want sometimes. Below in the middle dial they also have a Setup button???
