Mk7 Golf GTI Launched in Europe

[DoggieHowser]

seems to work fine on my 250, radar detects if running too close to car in front and depending on speed a red warning light lights up. get closer again ie way too close as have done couple of times and it gets a beep to warn further. so yeah works and detects appropriately I think. no idea re the golfs system and whats different.

It didn't stop in time automatically even at low speeds whereas the Up! did

if its that merc there I imagine its carrying a lot more momentum vs a light weight UP ! that said no way am talking about car stopping in time. am only talking of the radar and and that on the a250 it is very effective in detecting distance following at and if get too close. or need to avoid a collision. With me still as driver and controlling the car

Hey Everyone,

Sorry guys, I can't directly give you all of the info on the new Golf, just keep posting questions and I'll answer as best I can! However I may just post one photo of the new R without anything covered... Just have to figure out how to do it...

The new Scirocco will have absolutely nothing to do with the old car, I have spoken to Romers who has said that it will no longer be sports orientated but it will be a posher, more luxurious and stylish version of the Golf, maybe not even a coupe at all. This seemed so odd to me... De Silva has also said that it will be a completely different animal.

Now we get onto the R. The images below are what the Concept 1 car looks like (000111010011VWGOLFR). For those who don't know how VW names its concepts, this is as close to the actual production car that you can get, sort of like the Golf MK7 GTI shown in Paris. Called a concept but 99.9% the real thing.

I would ask that you do NOT copy these images and use them elsewhere, please look at them, and admire, in order to ensure that as many people as possible can see the new R. Thanks guys!

Is it just me or is it there is not much to it ?

[FSI 220]

Hmmm

If that is an R, I am a little underwhelmed... I would have to call that one heck of a sleeper... in fact... I am falling asleep just looking at it

I think the wagon would make a better R... (You listening VWA?)

[Golf7]

And Im sure the rear lights will be from the GTI too... But this is the best idea we have at the moment... Oh and it WILL have quad-exhausts, I just remembered... Calm down everyone, it WILL be better... Some fancy lights on the front, GTI's rear lights, quad-exhaust...

Looks more like a regular Golf with R-Line sports pack to me.
