Volkswagen Golf Mk6 Arrives in Iceland Ahead of Unveiling

Won't be made. An upgrated version of the GTI will be on offer (2.0L turbo). Same engine & mods as the Audi S3. You guys have no concept of modern-day engines as it relates to carbon emissions and the air you breath. Dynamite now comes in small packages. Sure you don't get the same engine noise, but I really couldn't care when bigger issues are at stake. VW shelved the R32 due to it failing EU5 emission levels. I'm very pleased.

WRONG! VW haven't shelved the R32. Not too long ago, they said the were gonna continue making it named the GTI-R or R32. Take your Eco-ass home. =/

Ah, how nice of you to insult me. Thank you. Unfortunately you whom label me 'eco-ass' etc and other such moronic names really miss the point. These emission levels are there for a reason. But I suppose a rationisation on you would be lost. Thank goodness we have some with brains running governments while you're at your desk or in your bedroom frothing over v8's. And I'm not wrong: the GTI-R will not be using a 3L engine and they are stopping production of it shortly. Guaranteed with a smaller engine. You're probably in the States, where you get a tax break for driving a hummer. In the UK and across Europe, you will pay much more in tax shortly for a larger motor. VW want to sell cars, and people want to save money on tax, so it's a win-win for those with some common sense.

Seek and ye shall find, 'tuner_mad', straight from Worldcarfans.com: 'Unfortunately, the R32 and its sonic V6 engine are being dropped due to EU emissions legislation. However, VW will, in spirit, bring it back via an all-wheel-drive R variant called GTI-R. It will be powered by the 265hp 2.0 TFSI found in the Audi S3.' ...Back at ya.

You both are right. Personally, I think that the BEST looking golf generation was the MK4; the one before 6 years I think. It was extremely attractive and strong looking think... Wish they make that design again.

Have to agree with you. Nicely put. One step forward, two steps back. Most people whom buy it aren't bothered though about the looks (as long as they don't feel it's horribly offensive, which it's not). More for residuals, reliability (not as bad as some), brand name etc.
