Lets be honest, Volkswagen were very clever when they launched the marketing campaign around the slogan 'its just like a Golf'. The VW Golf has been the benchmark hatchback for 35 years, and that is a massive achievement by any manufacturers standards. Most successful vehicles have their time in the sun, and are replaced by new models bearing inspiring new names.
However, imagine if Volkswagen ever came to the conclusion that they will replace the 'Golf' brand with a new model. It would be like having to follow Frank Sinatra on stage or replacing Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. Needless to say if that conversation was broached at VW when they were discussing replacing the mark 6 Golf, then it was probably a very short conversation!
Without doubt the 'Golf' name is a brand in itself, having earned its status through millions of vehicle sales in the last 5 decades. The new Mark 7 version will no doubt draw the crowds to the showrooms, and rightly so.
AutoExpress have reviewed the New VW Golf, and it does not appear to disappoint the reviewer in any way.
