First Images of Volkswagen Golf GTI MkVI Leak Online Ahead of Paris Debut

Another big selling model for sure ... I really like the new family face of VW and the tail lights are a big improvement on the previous weird mix of shapes ... but IMHO the wheels look terrible (heavy with trashy bling overtones reminiscent of those hideous chrome things that are popular with the street racer wannabe crowd)

unfortunately the bright-white appears to be kind of beige on these occured pics, so it looks a bit old, without this beige colour it should look decent :D

Yes, they didn't change much from the Mk5 GTI. This is gonna be one great selling hot hatch again, and I love it! Can't wait for the 'R' version too.

Looks fantastic!I t's a shame it only puts out 8kw more, but I'm sure the LSD will help improve an already sublime chassis, though I agree the traditional GTI rims are a little ugly.

awwww...it's sweet :)

there isnt alot of change from the out going model, looks wise...

ohh i like it :P the steering wheel is sexy, too!

Looks even more like the Scirocco now, but I still don't see why anyone would want a Golf when the Scirocco looks better, drives identically 8if not even better) and is virtually identical in price?

i dont understand why they make a new model and carry over the wheels from the previous one?

This does look very nice. Kudos, VW, on the front end too! Looks more defined and not like a "hand-me-down-from-Audi" design. Now, if VW can bring the Scirocco to the US...

i like this car...more than GOLF V

Looks very good... another rims, maybe? But it?s Ok, no doubt it will be a big selling model

Yes!! Thank god I took a chance and bought the Mk5 GTI before it was replaced by this turd. The GTI just went from iconic to looking like a 10 year old Honda Civic. I was going to wait for this, but after seeing that VW foolishly dumped the big monoframe grille from the IROC in favor of a lame horizontal stripe on the Scirocco, I feared the GTI would share the same fate, and boy did it ever. This "new face of Volkswagen" (black horizontal stripe between the headlights) is the biggest fiasco in the history of the company. This is hardly a "new" face, it's the old 1991 face of VW. The new taillights look lame as well, and the new seats look like my granddad's pajamas. They even scrapped the trademark GTI instrumentation dials in favor of the standard dials, and the brushed aluminum trim has been replaced by cheapo black like in the Mk5 GT. Thank you VW, this made my day!

The photo lighting of the interior is not very good (although why they'd leak a bad one would be beyond me). If this is as good as it gets, they've taken a step down in the quality materials they used in the early MKVs.
