The Golf VI, the new sixth generation Golf model will be unveiled by Saad Buzwaid and Volkswagen. The new model is quieter, sportier, fuel efficient and offers a clean distinctive appearance that should draw motorists in to check it out.

Lauded to be the 2009 World Car of the Year, it is apparent that the new Golf model will be getting its share of impatient car buyers who would want to check out and perhaps even buy one for themselves. The clear and powerful styling of the Golf being offered as a two-door and four-door in the “Trendline”, “Comfortline” and “Highline” equipment lines is showing the entire brand the way to the future.

The new Golf is characterized by first-class acoustic properties. A special sound-damping film in the windshield reduces driving noises, as does the newly developed seal design on the doors and side window guides.

Going small is the solution that many deem to resolve the whole fuel efficiency issue but how small is small? Well for this native British guy, it measures an absurd 39 inches tall, 26 inches wide and 51 inches long! 47 year old Terry Watkins has built one of the possibly smallest cars we have seen today which makes use of a motor that is similar to the home-based lawn mowers.

The chassis started out as a children’s toy car, and after Watkins bolted on working headlights and tail lights, windshield wipers, turn signals and a horn, he was allowed to tack on a license plate and make it fully street legal. Now, you might see him scooting around the streets of Staffordshire in this little crazy car at speeds of up to 40mph.

Crazy as the idea may seem, it is something that can possibly kick off. Cute but certainly something that may not be fitted for the roads along with the other hybrids and still existent modern day cars we see.
