Early photos of the next-generation 2009 Volkswagen Golf has surfaced on the internet, ahead of its official launch this week. So far, things are not looking good for the gay icon.

The new sixth-generation VW Golf MKVI will utilise the existing platform, and most of the engines will be carried over.

The new styling itself looks to be more of a facelift, simply adding ideas from the Scirocco and the Touareg. The front end looks cheap and unfinished in black, while the dull interior is hardly changed.

    the 2 door looks good, 4 door looks like a van! just a re-design, so probably be unreliable like the last one..

    I know this is subjective, but I hope VW provides other wheel options.
