What'll VW do with the current Golf? Sell them along side the all new and improved GTIs? Pull the Golf out of the line up????
#42 of 1809 1 series by trippredmond Sep 17, 2003 (11:34 am)
I am employed at a bmw center and it is my understanding that this vehicle is for our european friends only and a new 3 series will appear long before a 1 series will grace our shores.

With the 3-series sub-assembly sharing and the fact that they're putting six-cylinders in it for $25K, it's pretty safe to assume that the 1-series will be born on the veldt rather than in the Alps.   Rosslyn's as good a plant as any in Europe, so it won't be a problem. Too bad it's not in Botswana, though, to keep the "B" in BMW.

Actually yeah, my understanding is that the Golf will disappear from the lineup for a while (possibly permanently?). Sales of it were never wat VW considered to be great anyway...someone probably muttering "Stupid Americans and their trunks" hehe.   $25k will still have the distinction of being the cheapest BMW available here, but probably as an M2. Personally, I was looking forward to a $20k BMW, even if it's only got a 4 in it.

Where are you all getting this from about the Golf going away?   M

Hmm, I'm probably not supposed to say, since they have message boards, and it may be against Edmunds guidelines. But if it is then the mods will delete it. It came out of www.vwvortex.com and their Golf5 frquently asked questions thread.

the golf is going away and MT reported that the New Beetle will go away too. So we're left with a overpriced Jetta, a overpriced Passat, and the already dead Eurovan. Wow! VW's two car lineup!!!!!! (The Toureg might be pulled too. If VW will pull the Golf, then the slower selling Toureg will cease fire too)

jchan2-   I doubt VW will pull the Touareg. I happen to think it's an abomination to the VW name, but I also must admit that it seems to be a pretty good abomination I have not seen a negative review anywhere. Furthermore, the Touareg fits with VW's (stupid! stupid!) intent to move upscale.   Who wants to bet that VW will be in big trouble in the US about 2-3 years from now?   -Andrew L

I have to say I think you guys are really reaching here. I can't see VW pulling the Golf or T-Reg from the U.S, that simply doesn't make sense. The Beetle probably will be cut eventually because they're not sure which way to go in redesigning it. I hardly see VW pulling the Golf because even though it doesn't sell as well as the Jetta they've still brought over every version of the current Golf including the R32 model, which arrives in December. The Eurovan is already gone for 2004, to be replaced by the Microbus next summer. If they do what you all are saying VW will indeed cease to exist in the U.S.....that isn't going to happen.   M
#50 of 1809 Thank God it's not built in the U.S. like the unreliable X5 by creakid1 Sep 18, 2003 (10:20 pm)
One body version, eh! Must be be 2002-like coupe. 2 engines & no 4-cyl. Could that be the Valvetronic of 2.2 & 2.5? Sounds like the compact E36 3-series is back, especially to fill in when the next E90 3-series grows bigger.
