wdf, not what I expected to see in here =/

[davide]

the Plus sounded something RS6+ but I guess I got fooled... :|

[noosee]

Cool Car :lol:

[antonioledesma]

is it a taller golf or polo, or derby or what??

^^^^
It's a taller Golf. VW says it has to compete with the Renault Scénic, the Ford C-Max, the Citroën Picasso, the Opel Zafira, etc. A bit strange, because I always thought the VW Touran was a competitor of those. But I think the Golf Plus is a bit smaller than the Touran, the Golf Plus will have only 5 seats, were the Touran has 7 seats. So I guess the Golf Plus is VW's Renault Scénic, and the Touran is VW's Renault Grand Scénic.

^^ thanks.
mmm... and it will be the same as the jetta vagon, sportvagon, as you call it, in my country. almost nobody is buying that thing.
in terms of space I don't see any real use.... another car to the oblivion of really forgetful cars

You mean the Golf/Bora/Jetta Break or Variant, thus a break version (i.e. a 5 door with a box-like rear shape)?

for example:

No the Plus will be higher, more monuvolume like.


btw, here are some extra pics of the Golf Plus, taken at the Bologna Motorshow:

sorry for my idiotic english... but I what I tried to say is that car wont sell more than 10 units in my country and I don't see the real value in those kind of cars.
but... I don't own one, neither plan to buy one... and look awful

It will probably sell overhere in Europe. A lot of families with kids buy these sort of mini-MPV cars.

Yeah, Europe tends to love smaller more fuel and space efficient cars. So I can really see this car will be pretty popular. But not in NA for sure.

I dont like the MPVs concept since when driving them it seems that someone is driving a van rather than a car.......i do prefer a station wagon version of any touring car or the pug 307 which its a mixture between an ordinary 4 meter sized car and its equivalente MPV

[mv]

What surprised me is that the lights are not shared with the ordinary Golf as it would simplify the production and that's as far as i know an intension of the VAG.

It's uglier than a normal Golf But it probally will cost more if you have to buy something like that than buy a Scenic
