VW Misses The Mark With the 2010 GTI

Written by Jay Harper on October 26th, 2009

Does anyone else see the glaring problem with the ad I got in my e-mail (below)?

2010 VW GTI advertisement
It’s really quite simple… That car has 4 doors. The “legend” of the GTI is that it’s supposed to be an inexpensive sports car and sports cars just don’t have 4 doors - they have 2 doors and a good engine.

That’s not “the return of a Legend” - it’s the return of a huge mistake they’ve made before - watering down the GTI and making it a Golf/Rabbit with a few extra features. The GTI needs to be distinct from the Golf or else it’s not a GTI.
