So the new Golf 7 is here and SA is in a state of excitement it appears. When Cars.co.za published an article on it, it received a record number of Facebook likes and views. read article here
I can't help but wonder what has given the golf its almost cult appeal in our country.
From the very first Golf 1, South Africa has been loyally devoted. I can still remember their ad line "Red, Yellow Blue...which one's for you?"
Since then it has grown not only in size but in our hearts, and with each new design, VW has taken the old shape and brought in another beloved vehicle. First the Mk1 or Citi which still had amazing sales right up until they ceased production in 2009, then the Polo, and its sister the Polo Vivo which are still reaching high sales in their respective classes.
I must say that I have not quite decided how I feel about the golf 7. I do find the sleek simplicity appealing but it does not call to me, like other vehicles in its class do. Of course, I wouldn't say no if some generous millionaire wanted to give me one :-)
what do you think of the new Golf 7?
