The new Golf VI

It may have been officially launched in 2008, but the new Golf VI is going to arrive on some important markets only in 2009, meaning that it will probably be one of the best selling vehicles of this year despite the financial crisis that has also affected the auto industry.

The Volkswagen Golf is an icon for every automobile passionate. It was the car that created the compact class back in the 70s, a car that has been sold on every continent for the last 30 years. A lot of drivers appreciate the quality of this model and feel that it has no rival in its class. However, there are some voices that claim the fact that the Golf VI is only a facelift for the Mark V model and that launching a new model was not justified. Visually it is true, because the evolution is minor, but you have to know that there are other places where it can be easily seen. For example the interior of the new Golf looks a lot better compared to the older model, because of the quality materials and new design. In addition, there are some new, powerful and eco-friendly engines that were introduced with the launch of the new model. However, the biggest addition is the adaptive chassis that is expected to improve the stability and the riding comfort.
