What does everyone think of the new golf GTE... Not to be confused with the E-Golf.

Nice bit of tech and pretty brisk for a 1.4 engine + electric motor, but I'm not feeling it.    Would rather have that same little engine powering a 100hp electric motor per wheel  :smiley:

I like the concept of them, sports hybrids are the future so embracing them early is a winner. In a few generations times, all hot hatches will be hybrids like this. VW led the way in the 70's with the GTI, now they're doing it again with the GTE.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Yeah I remember the 16V and the MK3 GSI very well!  Waaaaaay too much power for the chassis!  Awesome engines, dire cars  :grin:
