I'm currently driving the 2007 Volkswagen City Golf and I was blown away today to find a newly revised 2008 City Golf with a facelift, updated tail end and upgrades etc. I'm kind'a mixed on the look, sort've still like the older style.
I thought the whole idea of making the City Golf cheap was to utilize the old model architecture, now they've spent money to update it and added more the base price (from $14,900 to $15,300..not a huge jump but here we go adding things again).
Anyway, as a side note, I love my 2007 City Golf! It was flippin' CHEAP! and so far I've got 16,000kms without any problems at all...very smooth. Not even a quirk. So far I'm very pleased.
