lupogtiboy Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Don't think its 100% confirmed yet though, but its a start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo1.0se Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Well. Some news has come through about the up Gti. It is not expected until early 2018! But anyway here is the article about it (advertised on multiple sites) http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volkswagen/first-drives/2018-vw-gti-prototype-review A few things that do concern me are 1. Is it 3 or 5 door. As in they only make in 5 door? I know the new polo is 5 door only :S 2. The front end. What is going on here? 3. 0-60 is slower than the lupo gti. I don't think this is a step forward... 4. The wheels look a bit too big. I can only imagine on British roads the ride will be. Hard? Although I have got a plan for this.

Rich Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 why bring a gti version out seven years after the debut? I'm sceptical of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like other manufacturers have done the same. Ford did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skajme Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Ahhh I was interested in this, but that seems really disappointing, especially if it does turn out to be 5 door only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 golf mk2 limited was a five door only and that was an amazing machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
