German carmaker Volkswagen has been producing a hot hatch family automobile branded the Volkswagen golf since 1974. Through the six generations that it has been available, the line has been marketed in different nameplates like Volkswagen Rabbit in Canada and the united states and Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico. For the rest of the world, it is commonly known as Volkswagen golfing. This brand is not named after the game golfing [*SCO]‘golf’ is rather after the German word for Gulf Stream. The branding was in accordance with Volkswagen’s trend in the 1970s of naming their auto brands after well-known wind systems. So, brands such as Volkswagen golf, Volkswagen Bora, Volkswagen Jetta ( after the German word for Jet stream ), Volkswagen Passat ( after the German word for Trade wind ), and Volkswagen Scirocco ( after the German word for Sirocco ). The Volkswagen golfing was introduced as a front-wheel drive auto which replaced the air-cooled version of Volkswagen Beetle. The admiration for this line has been enormous, that as of 2007, the golfing is Volkswagen’s best-selling model. It’s also the planet’s third best-selling auto, with 325 million units built as of 2007.
The golfing has had six generations of it produced since 1974. Most generations, especially the first ones had their bodies designed in hatchback style. Other styles have also been available though, including the estate style ( called the Variant, available from 1993 to the present, a saloon/sedan ( branded as Jetta, Vento, or Bora from 1979 onwards ), and convertible ( branded as Cabrio and Cabriolet, available from 1979 to 2002 ). The most recent generation of Golfs is called the golfing Mk6, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show of 2008. The planning of the Mk6’s exterior is more aerodynamic and its interior is a mix of the Mk4’s ( 4th generation golf ) luxury and the Mk5’s ( fifth generation golfing ) viability and user-friendliness. The Mk6 has been sold in the US as golf, and not using the Rabbit brand anymore. A golfing version to run on a cross-breed 1.5L turbo diesel engine and electric motor is predicted to be introduced by 2015.
