The old retained the Golf name (ie. City Golf) and the new MK5 was named the Rabbit to differenciate it. I think VW never meant to hold on to the Rabbit nameplate for the Golf. sorry got it the other way around. The old retained the Golf name (ie.

Am I missing something here? Its only a slight mid model changeover that they decided to rename the OLD model the Rabbit to differenciate it from the new Golf. Wasn't that the case? The same boo boo was also for the Jetta/GolF TDI that somehow managed to get dropped for a year or so for not meeting North American emmisions standards.

The old Rabbit was a worthless piece of junk! They've should have used the Golf name a long time ago! Makes no sense for VW to rename the Golf for the US market into the Rabbit.
