Golf Oops! VW accidentally distributes new Golf Plus brochure in Essen

[Bartek S.]

It's been no secret that a facelifted VW Golf Plus has been in the works for a while. It's just that the Euro-market hatch wasn't supposed to be formally revealed quite yet. The car will be introduced on Wednesday with the usual fanfare at the Bologna Motor Show, but media at this week's Essen Motor Show got a sneak preview when they picked up the Golf Plus brochure at the VW stand. The error was apparently corrected in short order, but once something's out, it's out. Dutch paper De Telegraaf, which was also the first outlet to run official Panamera photos a week or so ago, was among those who grabbed a copy of the new Golf Plus materials. Their scan is what's shown above. As you can see here, it looks pretty much like the old Golf Plus, except it has the new Golf's front-end theme. We'll see the whole thing when VW releases more images and specs next week. If you click the photo you can read a Babel Fish-translated version of the Telegraaf article.

It looks very nice!

BTW, what a great way to have leaks

Silly mistake though I don't think anyone cares for the Golf plus. It's surprisingly well designed though, and a bit distinctive from the standard Golf which is a good thing.

Not very interesting news is it? Although it looks like quite a tidy design.
