2007 Volkswagen Golf Auto Show Photo

The good news that Volkswagen announced at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show is that it has decided it will sell basic versions of its fifth-generation Golf hatchback (launched here in the mid-‘70s as the “Rabbit”) in both three- and five-door versions. The not-so-good news is that VW’s 150-horsepower 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine is the only choice. You can pick between a five-speed manual or a six-speed Tiptronic automatic, and standard equipment include ABS braking, traction control, active front headrests, front and rear curtain airbags, front side bags, manual climate control and remote locking with anti-theft control. Pricing will be announced closer to its summer launch, but base sticker price for the 2007 Volkswagen Golf will be about $16,000, or about $5k less than the sporty GTI with its superior 2.0-liter FSI engine.
