Golf MK7 / MKVII Speculation / Pre-Release Information Thread

Can anyone comment? I've heard that VW are going to release a new model Golf in the next release. Is this true and if so when can we expect to see the new model on the road?

Cheers

bugger. I was looking forward to having the latest version for a bit before it was superseded.

since you're buying the R, you will have the latest version for 2 to 3 years...

Rendering of the new 3 door Audi A3 from autoexpress.co.uk:

New Audi A3 revealed | News | Auto Express

The aluminium parts reducing weight should make for a good daily driver in the forthcoming 2012 Audi A3. Up to 2013 is an exciting time for sports hatchbacks with the following due for release:

Renault Clio Turbo DSG.
Audi A3/S3
Golf MK7 GTI/R
Honda Civic Type R Turbo.
BMW 120i 2.0l Turbo Hatch.
Updated Renault Megane RS265
Polo R (if released) and Audi S1.
Opel Astra GTC.

Many of which will be lighter, faster, more agile and offer better fuel consumption.

Cheers.
