We’ve already seen photos of the Mark 6 Golf GTI (which Volkswagen calls a concept BTW), but there’s nothing like watching a car in motion, looking at how its wheels spin, how the sky plays tricks on its shiny paint, and most importantly listening to its engine note. Look after the jump for over 4 minutes of video footage of a red Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk6 being put through its paces in the countryside.

1st ….nicelooking car..hope 2 c in malaysia soon…
2nd….but still gonna be costly here…
i just CANT WAIT for this!!…
There goes my money for Mini Cooper……
i really wonder what are the improvements over the Mk5, especially since the “5″ was already such a complete car.
I guess the price won’t be over 250k.. So i think it’s still a value-for-money car.. Such a gorgeous car !!!
i don’t know, guys. i have my reservations about the front. looks kinda “gay” (and i don’t mean happy) for the lack of a better word!
The rims only suit MK5
BTW, is it GTI only come with 3 doors only or comes with an option with 5 doors? Anyone?
I’m prefer 5 doors (such as a previous saloon Skyline GTR then, but available in Japan only!)

do you actually believe that without the current high tax rates on imported cars, everyone can actually afford to buy one of these cars?
you definitely need a new maths teacher.

oh wait, Mr Brown of Mind Your English also comes to mind. arrrrghhh!!!
haizzz…… i dun wan this car bcoz if i had this car, i will go bankrupt due to too many “saman” for exceeding speed limit far beyond…. i wont be able to control my-self with this machine….

i’ll take the previous one, nicer seat and design, pretty damn complete like someone said. but we’ll see how this new generation ups the notch on a already fantastic car.

gti has 5 seats, bigger boot. i do hope the next gti will also be around rm200k, the wald versions were expensive
the seat fabrics follows the mk1 golf gti seat pattern. that is why it looks like that. i hope it is an option, i’d rather have leather seats although in malaysia it means hot bottoms, hehe
i prefer the tartans
hehey… what we have here??
the new mk6…
sumthing is not rite with this mk6 compared to the mk5. maybe the new scirocco have taken the lime light from the mk6.
but i still love the golf gti.. it is my dream machine
i am getting really bored with Golf GTi variant now… nothing excel
