If anyone follows this at all, did you see the launch at the New York Auto Show? HOLY CRAP! Its amazing!!!

Since I am going back to school in September, and I should be on the job market with a steady job by the end of May, I think I will be getting myself one, once they come out! Jebsus. They look astonishing. (They won the World's Best Car Award too).


Oh my... It looks awesome. *drools*

The seats look hideous, which will probably make me get the leather interior though.. I don't understand what is nice about that stupid plaid design.

With the job I will be having, I will be earning in the $20-30K per year with 0 experience which is pretty decent as a start in the work market. I think it will be easily do-able to get that as since the official launch is to be started by 2014-2015.

Soooo it looks like the last 4 years of golfs.

You were saying?

He said 4 years, Golfs 1 and 2 are much older.

4 Years include the MKV which is not the same at all, much more bubbly ish

I've driven a 2011 or 2012 model being 2012 I think (or end 2011 if it was a 2011 model) and it drove very well. The downside is that cars like this are 9 times out of 10 driven by douchebags with saggy pants, crooked hats blasting their music so loud you can hear him coming 5 miles away with his window rolled up...

Why change a good looking car? Golf is one of my favourites, I would never get it though, I'd rather spend $20.000 extra and get me a nice BMW or Mercedes

^I think Audi looks better than BMW or Mercedes, but it's the fwd I don't like.

I love golfs, and reckon it'd be sweet to get one, but since I don't have a full license yet (And won't for another 3 years, when I'm 22), I won't be able to drive any car with turbo (Or over 200 horsepower). I don't think there's any point in me buying one that isn't a gti... so I'm going to have to wait

Woah. Why can't you have a "full" license? Is that how things are where you are?

I think that BMWs look better than any other car, and then comes the Audi.

Well, it isn't necessarily a full license. What happens is on your 16th birthday, you go to the department of transport, and take a test to get your Learner license. Your Learner license (or L's) means that when you drive, you need to have a yellow plate or magnet identifying that you are a learner driver. You are also given a logbook, in which you need to have driven at least 100 hours in total (10 night hours). On your L's, you can drive around in a Mclaren F1 if you had it, but an adult with their open (full license) MUST be your passenger when you drive.

Once you've had the L's for a year, and the hours done, you take an actual driving test with an instructor to get your red provisional's. By having your P's, you can now drive by yourself, but you are limited to what cars you can drive. Nothing over 200 hp, turbo is generally not allowed (unless its in a shitty little v4 with no power at all) etc.

You have red P's for a year, then you take an online reaction test (Called the hazard perception test), where you need to identify hazards in a set time (any longer, and you fail the test). There isn't much difference between red and green P's, except you have the green ones for 2 years.

Now, I didn't get my L's until like 7 months after I turned 16, then broke my leg, so I couldn't drive for 6 months. I ended being lazy as fuck, and waiting for like 4 days before my L's expired before I did my driving test to get my red P's. Usually, people are on their opens at like 20, but since I cbfed doing the test (Mind you, if I recorded all my hours, I'd have had like 300) I won't get mind till like 22.

Now if any of you come to Australia, you'll know how to get your license

I can't say, its utterly Drool-Worthy. But it looks okay

0.0 Audi copy other car's shapes and incorporate them in their own... I think audi's are hairdresser cars (except the r8... gotta love me the r8)

I think BMW are horrible because the grill looks like my Farking teeth -.- horrible.

Mercedes to me are just classic cars. most of them look very luxurious even if they dont drive the fastest. I think mazda have some classic looks too.

but yeah, the golf is the same car year after year which isnt a problem for me, i like the car i think it looks nice.... just wish it didnt cost a fucktonne
