The next Volkswagen Golf has apparently been revealed by accident during a company promo video.
Halfway into a film for the Frankfurt show L1 concept car, what appears to be a full-size mock-up of a future Golf can be seen in the background.
The car has narrower headlights and a more sculpted snout, similar to the Scirocco, and has pronounced wheel arches, possibly suggesting a wider track.
If the pics are to be believed, the car will be an evolutionary step forward instead of a giant leap, building on the latest model.
According to reports, the scene didn’t last long in the video, quickly being erased from the official video.

Re: VW Golf Mk VII 'revealed'
When the Polo has the right kit, alloys and high spec equipment it will be one slick car, the Polo GTI already looks set to be a very good car. VW are the masters of cars like polo, Golf.
Go for the understated look tannedbaldhead, silver is always a good choice

King of Bling Polo. Maybe not
Re: VW Golf Mk VII 'revealed'
Sounds nice, but why silver? Go for dark metalic blue. It will show off the chrome details and big wheels nicely
