The Volkswagen Golf has become a lifetime icon for the German auto maker. So much so, that when the six-generation arrives, Volkswagen will be sticking close to the current design. Dr. Martin Winterkorn has ordered his engineers to stay true to old values.

What we know: We already know that when the six-generation Golf arrives, the front fascia will get minimal redesign, sticking close to the current Golf. However, in the back the Golf will carry over the roofline to save money. The tail lamps on the six-generation Golf will get thinner.

What’s new: Winterkorn has ordered designers not to add a chrome grille to the six-generation Golf. He has also ordered them to basically leave alone the interior since its already receives acclaim for solid quality. However, Volkswagen engineers are paying close attention to the front with the split grille and three salient lower intakes (which may indicate more power for the six-generation).

Winterkorn has confirmed a date for autumn of 2008 for the six-generation Golf. Most of the engine specs are expected to be carried over however we may see some power increase. The 200 horsepower GTI and 250 horsepower R32 will be carried over, although that will be replaced by a 300 horsepower R36 by the end of the decade.

VW車系GOLF儼然已經變成德國汽車製造商長期的指標了。甚至，在第六代到來的同時，VW將會終結目前所流行的設計。Dr. Martin Winterkorn (現任AUDI總裁)也指示旗下工程師在設計GOLF該保持一貫的設計風格。
我們已經知道的是，6代GOLF發表時，前方的儀表板將會被簡化重新設計，徹底的改變掉現行的GOLF。然而，諷刺的是VW將會為了省錢而繼續保留車頂的設計。六代GOLF尾燈則是變的更扁了。
總裁指示工程師不要把鍍鉻柵欄設計在六代GOLF，更指示內裝可以擺其次，就算是以前受歡迎的硬體組裝品質。然而，VW的工程師們將更專注在車頭的柵欄與低伸的進風口(可能意味著六代將可能有更強的動力)。
總裁已經確認六代GOLF在2008年第三季發表。大部分引擎規格將會被延續下去，然而我們可以看到些動力增加，200匹馬力的GTI，250匹的R32依舊保持，儘管10年後將被300匹馬力的R36取代。

後記:又說可能有動力增加又說延續動力，擺明弔胃口!
