Possible 2012 VW Golf VII Design Model Caught in Promo Video?

Oh no... it's going to look like the last one...!

it's too similar to the current shape, and only the bumper is made of clay. ergo, i think it's another Mk 6 variant

The Golf VII is also expected to feature 2.0 TSI twin charged engine with well over 300bhp and 4-motion.

There are several things to remember, while this may be a mock up of the 2012 Golf VII, most car manufacturers create several clay full scale models to look at how it will be in the flesh. This could be one of a few or the first of a few mock ups. Can't wait to see though the final result.

Would you guys expect anything else from VW when it comes to the Golf? The last 3 incarnations of it have been a steady evolution of the extremely average, designed not to offend, melted cheese design philosophy. Considering VW has set their target audience as "everybody", their design has to appeal to this audience, or at least be not too extreme and alienate potential clients. They seem to think hard lines are what people don't like and have developed a rather acute allergy to them...

I want more than anything else for VW to design a new, radical and striking car unlike any other hatchback out there. I own a golf, and can't help wishing it were a bit more radical its possible: remember the jaguar xj? remember that the 2003 model was like a facelift of the one before it? and the 2009 one is as far removed from it as can be: its the best looking car in its class. I KNOW VW can do the same with the golf: jaguar als had a conservative target market but they changed it.. high hopes for this one.. come on VW.. ditch all the conservativeness and come up with a five-door coupe/hatch with a sloping, low roofline, a lower wider stance... and the beauty of the DB9, maserati quattroporte and the Alfa Romeo Brera.. come on VW... impress me

Thinking about a Golf sends me to sleep .

That looks almost the same as the current Golf, argh! Watch when the Golf 8 comes out a few years after the 7. All they will do is change the design of the Golf badge.

lol... i know VW can do it they can ditch the conservative style of the car in favour of a more beautiful form (perhaps taking influences from th alfa romeo Mi.To).. and their target market will increase greatly as a result.. i know they can do it..

Why didnt they just add two more doors to the Scirocco, it would have been more beautiful than the current bland 6, hopefuly this is not the 7 cause we want something fresh (it all went down after 4, I wonder what happend)

If you want more daring design and sharper lines wouldnt you rather have a BMW 1er? A Golf is always going to be an everyman's car just like the Toyota Corolla.

It looks like that illustrations here: http://www.germancarblog.com/2009/02/vw-golf-vii-7th-generation-gets-into.html

Golf 7 will be as conservative as the 6 (5 was pretty cool so I bought one when it came out). Same as Audi. Some nice engines and great overall but styling is just too dumbed down and as others have said, trying to appeal to the widest demographic possible. Financially sensible? Sure. Will I buy another? Nope.
