The 2006 Volkswagen Golf closes out the fourth generation of the hatchback that Volkswagen developed and introduced decades ago to replace the original Beetle. An all-new and fifth-generation Golf arrives in the fall of 2006 as a 2007 model. (The Gen-5 Golf is previewed in the U.S. market by the 2006 GTI, a high-performance version built on the new platform.)
