Already?????

Now that VW got a decent looking Golf, they are going to actually replace it

I really hope it won't be with this sh!t :

VW, please, Golf is not a Mazda 3 that you replace every 3-4 years !

I am just waiting for the greek version of the cash4clunkers law to be signed next month, so that I can give my crappy clio and get 2000€. Note that I can't get more than 300€ if I sell it.

VW designer struggles with Golf

Volkswagen group chief designer Walter de Silva has claimed he doesn’t sleep at night when he thinks of how to design the seventh-generation VW Golf.

The sixth-generation Golf was launched earlier this year with only minor changes over the outgoing model. Although he didn’t give anything away about the styling of the next-gen Golf, he did admit it was causing him sleepless nights.

“When I think about the Golf VII, I do not sleep at night,” he said. De Silva had minimal influence in styling the current Golf, but he admits the next model will be his greatest challenge.

The Italian also described the styling of the recently-launched VW Polo, claiming it is “simple”.

“The new Polo is a simple and honest shape and designing simplicity is much more difficult than overdesign with decoration,” he said.

De Silva also claimed the stresses of the job, which he started in February 2007, have led him to spending more time in the past two years with VW group CEO Martin Winterkorn than with his wife.

LOL I don't think THAT will help with the new MK7 design.

Hey De Silva here coms some inspiration from Da Silva

There is an interesting article at CAR :-

Volkswagen Golf Mk7 (2012): full story | Secret New Cars | Car Magazine Online

Seems to have a few more bits of information which appear (to me) to make sense for MK7, where it is headed and the likely innovations we will see.

Leaked image reveals look of radical 2012 Golf

The MkVI Golf has been in showrooms for less than a year, but already we have the best images yet of how its successor is shaping up. And our information on this radical new hatchback, slated for a 2012 debut, has come from the most unlikely source - VW itself!
A promotional video for VW's recently revealed L1 concept accidently revealed a groupe of designers hard at work on a clay styling model of the next-generation Golf in the background. You can see a freeze-frame from that video on the right. It might be a bit blurry, but the photo proves that work is well underway on the new Golf, suggesting a particularly short lifecycle for the current MkVi car.
