I'd call that a facelift. Not a new version

Why not? This version is called VI = six and the previous one V = five, right?

True, but I couldn't care. It doesn't look 'different' enough to warrant it being a new version, it looks EXACTLY like a Mk5 but with different headlights and various blingy bits. I'm also willing to bet it's a simuluar, if not the same platform as the Mk5. If not, then hey guess what. I DON'T CARE That's the Mk.5 Facelift to me forever.

@Senn, I agree. They're horrible.

Even though you don't care I can tell you that it's a new version because Golf V was to expensive to build and with this new version they shall earn more money per car. So I guess that they had to rebuild the whole car (or atleast nearly) I guess

Well I kinda agree, but do you expect stock huge wheels like those on a family hatch?

the GTI is a hot hatch the normal golf is a family hatch
hot hatch's are aned a20 year olds who wont a fun car ror not a lot of mony and family hatches are amesd at 25 year olds withe kids and old people

So they put smaller light units so there needs to be used less plastic, build quality went down and cheaper materials?

I don't have any clue about how they have made it cheaper to build, but im pretty sure that they have...

If they can use components from other models, it brings their individual costs down. Some production cycles can always be refined and made more efficient, time is money.

Please don't randomly type letters and hit the reply button.

Yeah, but since i don't work at VW i don't know which parts they use and how much they cost, but I understand what you mean

edit. what I meant was that I don't know exact how they have brought the costs down.

Now you know Vdub used other parts to bring the costs down. Somehow.

I always thought that American Idiocity (see that capital there?), was just a joke. But apparently it does exist..

There is only 1 place in the whole of Europe where they drive on the left side...

You should watch the TopGear episodes in America.
The people there think France is next to Europe
They just think Europe is a country, can you blame them for being stupid?

HELL YEAH

I saw a Scirocco driving in real life on Friday, they are even uglier in person than they are in photos. God only knows why anyone would want one, let alone in shitty red.

They also sound horrible, the exhaust has no tune to it.

You can tell that is fake, the "black" used to scribble out the original question and answers isn't the same as the black background.
