Apparently this is the full mk7 range.
Really not sold on the looks though!
The MK5 was quite uniquely designed and looks wise, took only a smidge of inspiration from the MK4. :smiley:
The MK6 has grown on me, and looks like a mk5 with a lot more mk4 bodyshape in it.
But the MK7. Its like and mk6 but trying to take a further 1/2 step back into the mk5 and bit of mk4 if you squint!
An they have bought out an electric golf?! Presumably hybrid and not a big G-Wiz :confused:
They are my views but if you ask me, everything is coming back to our awesome mk5s! :wink:
Am looking for an MK6 dsg just to get something newer but I cannot ever see myself getting an mk7 at this rate!
As an aside though, is the MK7 platform equipment relatively hot-swappable to mk6? like the mk6 was for the mk5... hmm! research to be done methinks! :fighting2:
-
They need to do an R estate :party:
-
I dont like the look of the MK7. But i did not like the look of the MK6 to start with and now i realy like it.
I do still think that the mk5 looks the best.
Other than a MK2 which i think is the best looking golf ever :love:
-
What's in the middle of the lower grill on the GTI?? Looks like a siren of a London ambulance!
Tbh the GTI didn't look all that in them pics compared to the preview at the motorshow(Paris iirc)
-
The R looks a bit tame compared to the GTI? :confused:

I started out with a 1988 F plate Golf GL. What a tank!!! MK2 was soo retro n solid!

The R really looks rubbish! :sick:

Doesnt it just! Prefer the front end of the 4motion and bluemotion.
R front is like its got a big black piece of plastic taped to the front as an afterthought :sick:
-
I really hope that isnt a production ready version of the R. Looks like a pile of complete wank compared to the Mk6 R.
-
Not a big fan yet . Wasn't a fan of the MK6 when it came out . Like the look a bit more now . Trouble is for what you will be paying for a decent spec GTI MK 7 it looks a bit plain and not special enough . The GTI looks ok but is that their intention to get a drivers car that blends in and appeals to more people or will it attract less people . We will see :happy2:
-
The R needs to look way more aggressive than that :stupid:
-
Both the GTI and the R don't look great in those pics.
-
Don't do a lot for me either but some cools pics with the snow over the rear windows,just shows how much s**t gets chucked over the rear.
-

The MKVII R looks tame compared to anything! :sad1:
Even the electric one has a better front than the MKVII R!

Couldn't agree more! Lets hope they make some revisions to the styling of the 'R' before releasing it!
-
Very disappointed by the R, if that's the finished article? Glad I bought the MK6 version.
-
.
Volkswagen must be joking if that really is the Mk7 R and not a disguise! I thought it was a Mk7 Polo until I saw the tiny "r" pics heading in the post. The Mk6 R is definitely the best looking.
I can't say that the Mk7 GTI excites me any more than the Mk6 GTI did. But when I the Mk5 GTI came out I was instantly in love and took the brochure to bed every night until she was delivered 12 weeks later. My Mk5 GTI still excites me to this day even if beginning to look slightly dated.
-
The Mk7 R won't look like that. Unless it's a real sleeper look they're going for.
took the brochure to bed every night
I sometimes take some 'brochures' to bed...gets me off to sleep quicker :wink:.
-
I went and had a gander around the basic demo model at my local stealers today and these pics confirm my opinion that it looks dull. It's like looking at someone dressed all in beige, there's just no excitement. I know its not a Ferrari but I'd like to look at the lines and think "Oh Yeah" not "Oh god".
Love the Mk5, love the Mk6 and this is NOT a progression IMO.
(I will probably end up buying one in 2-3 years after saying all this :laugh:)
-
That really can't be the finished article. If so, they should make a Golf RR with 414bhp and 4wd :happy2: e.g. Stage 1 RS3

....Now that really would be a Golf RedRobin aka RR version! :happy2:
The Mk7 R so far simply doesn't look the part!
No matter how rational we think that the process of buying a car is, there are two huge not-to-be-underestimated influences: Looks and sound. At least that is the case if you are a true enthusiast or petrol head.
-
I refuse to believe that is the new R, looks shocking, and dated!
-
those are just mules :signLOL:
They arent the finished articles :happy2:

....Which is exactly why I raised the question of disguise earlier :happy2:
-
I wonder whether the bit in the bottom grille is the radar thing for cruise control? Hate the way it breaks up the grille.
Agree the GTI doesn't look that special and the Golf R looks worse than the std golf!!!
EDIT: I've had another look through and it still just doesn't excite me. I was hoping to go for a mk7 gti, maybe ed40, but I think the styling is too bland and makes me want to look elsewhere for my next car.
-
The R must be wrong, both Gti & GTD have LED tail lights but not the R??????
Possibly blue motion with 4 pipes :signLOL:
-
R makes me sad! :sad1: its got to be in disguise!
Electric one looks more badass!
-

HAHA! I laughed out loud at that. :happy2: :grin:
-
They need to do an R estate :party:
I agree :happy2:
The Wagon looks great!
The R looks like its on 17" monzas???
-
The GTI MK7 up close:
Anyone like the red strip running along the bottom of the headlights? I think it only works for the red gti.
The front is wayy to mk6, not biggest fan of the rear. looks like a immitation of audi with a5 rear lights??
-
They all look frightfully boring in comparison to former models. And i'm not a fan of the rear whatsoever. It looks like they've just jacked those rear lights off of an old q5. :fighting:
-
VW haven't decided if the R is going to be made in RHD anyway , so we might not get it? I actually think the R WILL look like that , as all the other cars look like they are supposed to , why would they just 'hide' the R? Makes no sense.
-
I was thinking about whether this was the R the other day and to be honest I doubt it is.
IMO it's either a test mule so no one knows what the r looks like or it's an R Line like they have on the Rocco and polo
