Germany’s Bild newspaper is reiterating recent reports that the next-generation Volkswagen Golf will arrive as a 2008 model. The company is reportedly opting for a 5-year cycle instead of a more traditional 7-year one, citing increased competitiveness in the segment. In December, AutoBild — the automotive branch of Bild — said the Golf VI and a Golf SUV would arrive as 2008 models, while the Golf-based Volkswagen Scirocco coupe would come a year later.

Its strange for ‘Bild’ to claim Volkswagen is opting for a 5 year cycle instead of a 7 year cycle, considering the Golf 5 is just now about to reach the USA. If its gonna be replaced in 2008, that would mean a 2 year cycle for the USA and a 3 year cycle for Europe. Really, the Golf 4 is still on the VW USA site. I’m sure there’s gonna be refreshes for the Golf and Jetta to give it a more Eos like front end, But the notion that 2008 is gonna somehow constitute a 5 year product cycle is transparently wrong.

It’s a 5 year cycle based on it’s European introduction from two years ago.

Between this, the R32 and the spypics of the next scirocco, VW is really onto something good!

Hey Mopargirl, how long would your guy last in the Marines before he was reduced to a bloody pulp behind some hidden dirt mound.
