The bump near the fuel filler is interesting.

Volkswagen Golf VII Test Mule Spotted During Testing | The Motor Report: Auto News And Reviews

i really dont see any difference to current model another evolution of Vth body?

[hooba]

It's a mule body, the track is obviously different hence the beep beep Barina wheel arch flares.

hmmm... I dunno, why would they be testing a car with registered plates?

Basically what happens is that they make a new chassis, and possibly new engine etc, they may even start constructing a new interior etc, but so it doesn't get too much unwanted attention, they dress it in the current body shape so that it will hopefully go unnoticed.

Many car manufacturers do this....


So no, the MKVII and the car that you see has no relation at all to the MK6 - other than the fact that they're both Golfs and it's currently wearing the MK6's body.

Quite a claim. Whoever said this must be quite an authority.

But wait, it's the authoritative and ever well-informed Coreying with yet another sweeping claim regarding matters about which only a VW insider would have any knowledge, and in bold no less!

No relation at all? Absolutely none . . . apart from them both being Golfs.

But apart from that minor detail, them sharing the same manufacturer and DNA, no relationship at all. None.

Thanks for pointing that out, Corey.

oh my god.....

really?

another speculation / b7tch thread?

just do me a favor, MK 7 soon-to-be owners.... dont get cocky about purchasing .:R's when you talk to people on forums...

i've seen this before:
guy A: ''you're tightass because you cant afford what i have"
guy B: "i'm looking at other alternatives"
guy A: "basically, you're cheap" [this part is funny, because guy A doesnt know that his car cost less than the MODS done to guy B's cummins diesel... yes. just mods]
guy C: "yeah, guy A!!!!! you proved him!!!!!"

.... i love this forum. it's just sad to see tools on mediocre wages, act like supremacists for no really good reason.

It isn't unique to this place mate, or even the internet! Some people just feel the need to act like they're better than you based on material or perceived status. It's farked up but sucks to be them!

Yeah. And that Guy B is a real tosser, anyway.
