Golf 7 GTI concept Revealed !!!

[phaeton]

expected cost?

Similar to current version I would say, unsure how much extra the Performance package would be if it does come here.

[Tigger]

Do not like the red through the headlights...

And Why oh Why has it got that stupid electronic handbrake (electromechanical unit) like the passat and tiguan!!!?????

That is not what you want in a drivers car!...perhaps in a mums taxi- but not in a drivers performance car, esp a manual.!!!!

Pretty sure they said the elec handbrake is optional.

[Tigger]

wow...oh, ok...so we could have a 'standard' hand-brake then you reckon?
I suppose thats ok then...

[irossiter]

How are you meant to be able to turn without an electronic handbrake!?

[Captain Courteous]

Whats with that red line in the head lights?

It had a big night...

[Tigger]

I agree with Adam.
The Mk7 GTI is very busy (weird split lower grill thing and 20 button steering wheel control).
I also don't like the weird circle inner steering wheel shape at all!

Yep, the steering wheel inner part looks like it came from a beetle?!

What's all this fuss about an electronic handbrake about?

The current Golf has the brake hold function on it anyway. It works so well that the handbrake is not needed for hill starts.

An electronic handbrake is just the next logical progression. Unless of course people want to use the handbrake for turning...

When I was a lad (in Northern Ireland) that sort of behaviour used to land you in hospital with gunshot wounds to the knees! Especially if you had 'borrowed' the car.

i have to say, from the pics at the motor show it looks pretty nice in red

the wheel design on the red car is nice, too. i dont really know why there is this fetish with two tone wheels these days, but a simple powdercoat in bright silver'll fix 'em up.

The red stripe through the headlights isn't that special, the normal models with the xenons have the same strip in chrome.
