This looks to be very close to production ready. There is a fuel tank on the passenger seat and a number of markings all on the inside of the car. But either way, very sweet looking car so far:

They don't do much to hide it do they, in Michigan when you see a prototype it has black bras all over it.

that was a cool looking car, at first I was like wtf is that thing, apon closer looking, I liked it

They don't expect someone like me out there in the middle of nowhere.

Haha I'm glad you had a camera! At first glance i didn't really like it, but it's acutally a pretty sweet looking hatch

I think it's already released over here.

Nice looking car nonetheless

It actually IS a european car...

Thought VW decided not to import these?

Diesel too.... About time....

I believe they are thinking about doing a Diesel GTi also. Either way, was pretty cool to see all the sticky notes and equipment inside the car. Mark wanted me to grab the VW of USA lanyard badge inside the car.

The rear reminds me of a Mitsubishi Mirage/Colt

The GTD version. I've been waiting for that ever since the mk4 hit the market.

Dad's first Golf was an mk1 GTD. I was ~10 when he sold it. Still see that car from time to time...but it's in bad shape now

car looks good!

i know exactly what you mean, im about a 30-35minute drive from one of the testing facilities. Ive seen quite a few going around. My cousin told me him and his friends were driving around and one of the prototypes was out all covered up in black bras so they kept speed with it and started snapping pictures. The people driving the car got PISSED, the other "testers" or whatever were in another car and they started taking pictures of him and his friends and getting up behind his car taking pictures of his license plate and all that like they were doing something illegal lol.
