Golf MK7 / MKVII Speculation / Pre-Release Information Thread

[Ryan_R]

Will probably be an option for the slower cheaper cars, not really for the GTI. It's like how they listed Park Assist as a feature for the MK6, not every Mk6 car has it. Just showing the new breakthroughs made available.

Looks like there is space for a spare tyre/wheel

I would suggest that they will use runflats on the bluemotion models to reduce weight and consumption.

check the link in my previous post, this is from VWs teaser, it clearly says on image 2 of 22 new "run flat tyres"

Cool, I was just stating no info yet on run flats in VW pre-release text file.

The images look like they were taken at the pre Golf launch workshop in Wolfsburg as the press kit does not have that image in it, just the ones released so far.

Another interesting rendering before the 4th of September:

Words can not express. I wonder if there would be a way to watch a live stream of the unveiling??
