The 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI STEALS Agent 001's Heart, Does Our Photos Make YOU Lust For Its US Debut?

Last night we showed you Agent 001's shots straight from Napa Valley of the Volkswagen Scirocco R. Though that vehicle is a helluva good looking product, it is not on its way to the US in the immediate future. Essentially, Volkswagen of America was gauging perception. Maybe we'll get it on the refresh or next-gen.

More importantly, Volkswagen did give 001 the chance to pilot an all-new veedub we will be getting. That would be the all-new Mark 7 Golf GTI. It's been making some serious waves abroad as folks have been getting behind the wheel and taking them for spins BUT there is one catch to the auto the head cheese drove.

It was a Euro-spec vehicle.

In most cases this isn't a problem but knowing Volkswagen and how it has been altering vehicles that it sells for the U.S. market, it actually doesn't give us an entirely accurate picture of what we will be receiving. That is until VW has a press release that says "Yes, the U.S. will get the same specification as Europe."

001 tells me he walked away impressed and like the Scirocco R it "stole his heart." Let's hope the U.S.-spec doesn't waver too far from the Euro version.
