Default 2010 VW GTI COTY Accolades

Although many already know what a great car the new GTI is, I felt inclined to post links to many of the COTY articles about the car. Just look at all of them!

P.S. Yes, I admit that I am biased.

I'm guessing you just bought the GTI in the pic? Congrats!

Just waiting for Airgate to come pee in your cereal about how it will spend its life in the shop...

This is why hot hatches barely exist in this country, and why we get so few sport wagons. Instead we get a bunch of bloated SUVs and crossover mongoloids.

I love the new gen 6 GTI. I am planning of trading in my IS for one in a couple of years. I love the front look, the taillights, the steering wheel and center console. I have read many magazine articles about this car, and almost all comments are positive.
