FOR MORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com 2010 VW Golf. Volkswagen chose the 2009 New York Auto Show to introduce America to its new sixth-generation Golf. Set to go on sale in the US later this year, the new Golf is already sold elsewhere in the world and, if its selection as 2009 World Car of the Year is any indication, it should do well when it hits our shores.

good to know…i had a 2003 vw gti automatic for a year until the engine light turned on. It was my first VW and i was afraid it was the beginning of things to come so I trade in the VW for a new Scion XB. Before the VW I drove Japanese cars with no issues.
@DJTEVAdotCOM They are great cars, I just wouldn’t bother get one with auto or too many power options. they always seem to be the ones with issues. Yes they are not as good as the japanese in reliability, but it’s not like they brake down everyday. My only issue I’ve with my VWs was the ignition coil cracking. But for me, there must always be a VW in my driveway.
My Uncle Ralph used to own a VolksWagon Golf, 4 Door TDI it was a great subcompact, he had a 06 model and it was a very nice car, If you want a fuel effecient car, I would recomand this car with a Diessel engine because you get better Gas mileage than you do with the hybrid and it last longer than the hybrid.
love the vw ride but they are just unreliable in the long run…
LOL..I know, I am glad too, I used to have a rabbit back in the 80′s and my father always made fun about that. Who would drive a rabbit??? he asked freqently?
really? well i havnt been able to find one yet but i guess ill keep looking
huh?? are you sure??? I found 4 door manuals, 4 cyc, turbo
MIIINNNNEEEE!!!
glad they’re going back to calling it golf…rabbit didnt sound cool at all…”Hey what kind of car do you drive?” “I drive a rabbit”… Lame!
i hate how they don’t make a 4 door manual you can only get it with the tdi
With recent currency shifts (dollar sinking) the scirroco would cost $30k and compete with the audi a3.
they dont bring cars like the scirroco to NA is bc the market aint big enough, they will lose money if they do… whihc is ashame really…
Why on eart are they not bringing the Scirroco to the US. Why the hell does Europe get all the good cars?
ur the only one
AM i the only one who sees a revamped 1993 camry in this design. pause at 0:28 and i see camry
Not with TDI engine you’ll be surprise if you try it ! But the engine has a bad noise ! not sexy i agree but performance are here with the new common rail TDI.
diesel yah! ive been waiting for them to bring that back
something like that…..
Oh yes! Lots of cupholders, big cushy seats, and automatic transmissions lol. I’ll pass on that. XD
Its a tarted up mk 5. It uses all the under pinnings and the same roof panel as the mk5, but with an inflated price tag
There are some enthusiasts like you that would love to buy a Scirocco but thats not what the majority of the people in US want. They want fucking mini-vans whatever with lots of cupholders for their super sized coke.
It really is a shame but you have to unterstand VW, because the main thing they want to make is profit.
Yeah, our tests are a lot different. They were revised for the 2008 model year and are stricter now, so new cars’ mileage estimates are lower. I would love to have a Scirocco, but unfortunately we can’t get that car here. VW’s future US lineup is actually pretty depressing. We won’t be able to buy the next generation Passat and will instead have a larger sedan “suited to American tastes” and built in the US. I’m sure it’ll be another boring Camry clone like the other midsized sedans here.
Hmm but im not really sure either. I simply took the stats from the German VW page and put them into the calculator. Maby the test procedure in the US is different from the european one.
But its straight reasoning 2,5 liter naturally aspirated versus 1,4 liter turbo/supercharged – whos going to have better mileage…….. You still got an advantge, your fuel is much cheaper and you paid way less than i would for comparable Golf. Im currently driving a 2.0TDI Scirocco with 140 hp – awesome car
