First 2010 VW Golf GTI Commercial Hits the Air

This is Volkswagen's first commercial for the brand-new, sixth-generation Golf GTI that just went on sale across Europe (North American sales will commence this summer). Shot at a port location in Long Beach, California, the German advert shows a driver fooling around with the Golf GTI. At the end of the video, the young passenger who appears to be the driver's son, asks for the keys only to be shunned. The video ends with the ticker "Nur fur Fortgeschrittene" which translates to only for advanced (drivers).

Video: 2010 VW Golf GTI Test Drive in St. Tropez

If you didn't fancy VW's official promotional video of the new Golf GTI that much, here's an independent film that was (apparently) shot during the media presentation of the car in St. Tropez in France. Word of advice to the producers of the video; while we have no problem with the music overlay in the beginning of the film, we would have preferred to hear the sound of the GTI's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine unadulterated during the test drive.

Kudos to Maxime for the tip!

It's all about the new 2010 Golf GTI today as Volkswagen released heaps of info, pictures (see here) and of course, a series of videos on its hot hatch that goes on sale across Europe this April followed by the U.S. and other markets in late summer. If you follow the jump, you'll get the chance to watch three videos of the 210HP Golf GTI that include beauty shots of the new model together with the first-generation 1976 Golf GTI and driving footage filmed on a picturesque mountain road in St. Tropez, France.
