well now . . . VW has finally woken up to the fact that their cars need more than technical excellence and sensible fuel consumption in order to be able to attract customers. keep it up on all your model line up !

in other words it looks crap!
vw is just rubbish when it comes to design.

of course i drive a Japanese car.
VW's are yawn inducingly dull.
i feel i have some merit in my argument as i happen to be a designer....
ad let me tell you creativity and visual drama are words that you couldnt describe a VW with.

VW , BORING Asif ? what do you think is the powerplant and the drivetrain for the Bugatti Veyron and the Bently Continental Flying Spur ? it's VWs " boring " turbocharged W16 and W12 engines respectively ! yeah right , you deserve to drive a cheap Jap urbohauler.

"Asif".....you say that you are a designer...of what?....not automobiles that's for sure. VW group are more mixed streamed....creative in Audi to workhorse like in Skoda....what makes VW more special....is that there designers have been poached by other motor manufacturers.....look at the new Ford Mondeo (in fact look at the last Mondeo....passat inspired) or Kia motor group with their Cee'd range....designers who previously worked for VW Group.

Nice. The new golf will be a success of course. This is why VW makes money and American car companies lose money. AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES ARE LOSING BILLIONS!!! WE WIN!!! HIGH HORSE POWER BENZ, M6, 911 ETC. WE WIN.

woah!
talk about touching a raw nerve. i love it!
okay first of all let me answer my critics. i said vw was dull, not Bugatti or Bentley. and i was talking about DESIGN/STYLING people, not powerplants! hello?!!
secondly the level that Audi is the creative kid in the vw empire is stretching the truth also. nice cars, for sure, but the SAME face and grille on every model. hmmm real creativity there!
thirdly the idea that designers are being poached could be true but then who knows, may be they jumped ship? and wanted to free there ties from the constraints of suffocating desing studios. on evidence of their work at the new firms i'd say that they are allowed more freedom.
and lastly no i am not a car designer but a furniture an product and lighting designer, and lets not forget car deigners are taking cues and ideas from ALL 3 that i have mentioned.

I had a Golf 4 (next to my 5 series of course), I have a friend that has a Golf GTI. In terms of design it's rubish but the engine and the drivetrain are preety good. ASIF was reffering strictly to design, and I also believe it's very boring, but as cars they are preety good.

just what i wanted, a new Golf. i just hope the GTI is better than the last one, not that the last one is bad but like me, all VW GOLF GTI fans always look forward to a new GOLF GTI.

powerplants and drivetrains are two major componentries that matter critically as far as the efficient operation of ANY automobile is concerned . why , a Bently Continental Flying Spur is no more/less than a VW Phaeton re-skinned along Bently's lines. all those clueless "brand addicts" should realize this fact. i think that VW IS CAPABLE of designing sexy automobiles if it really wants to but the company has to maintain the enduring character that its name VOLKS(people's)WAGEN(car) stands for. much like Maranello had to go along the principle that they always have to turn out wild - looking two- seaters that get you from here to the next block on a full tank of gas - all with no provision for a decent luggage space .

THERENAISSANCEMAN.. Why are you saying we remove comments? The only comments that have ever been removed are SPAM.

howdy , Clinton ! i have said this particular comment simply because this was the situation around here only a few days ago and another member, Banter, clearly seconded my declaration. perhaps you could tell me what really happened when all the written blog entries collectively disappeared from the face of the earth some two or three days earlier ? my cordial regards to Monica , too.
