Video: 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI Test Drive
We don't always make it to every press event. Our budget doesn't necessarily have room for occasions like the European press introduction for the Volkswagen Golf GTI. No big deal, we just missed out on driving a 207 hp hot hatch on the backroads of St. Tropez in costal southern France... Damn the b...
Volkswagen Golf R20 spy shot
Volkswagen is hard at work on the new Golf R20. Then again, we'd all like to consider testing a car at the Nurburgring work. This car was disguised as a 2.0 TDI Golf VI, so there really isn't much to show from the spy shot except the tell-tale central dual exhaust. By the time the car makes its debut (...

Golf GTI - new video and image gallery
We still have to wait for the fall to get the new Volkswagen Golf GTI (it debuts later this spring in Europe.) So there is still plenty of time for us to get excited about a new video and image gallery. The original hot hatch still has the right moves for frugal-minded fanboy. It has a 207 hp turboch...
Volkswagen: Rabbit dead; Golf resurrected
From the ‘things you pretty much already knew' bin comes the return of the Golf (name). Volkswagen spent a lot of time cutting out an image for the Golf in the U.S., and then with the last generation it switched back to the original name of Rabbit. Although cute, it may have caused a little confusi...

Volkswagen Golf GTD to debut this week
Volkswagen is going in an interesting direction with the new Golf and has created a high-performance diesel car. Instead of GTI, this one will be called the GTD. It should get much of the appearance and suspension packages that comes on the GTI, but it will just have to fuel up at a different pu...

With the sixth generation of the Volkswagen Golf only a few months away, the mad scientists at Volkswagen are busy working to create an even hotter version of their GTi sport hatch. Although it won't be as insane as the mid engine, rear wheel drive W12, the GTi-R promises to breath new life in...
