Suspiciously Undercamouflaged Mk8 Golf Spotted in China

An interesting post from China’s AutoHome surfaced last week, purporting to show the Mk8 Golf sitting in a parking lot.

The images show a roughly Golf shaped vehicle with some of the most useless camouflage ever fitted to a test vehicle. Seriously, it’s the Zorro mask of cammo: it covers everything except every distinguishing feature.

Regardless, the images show a new front fascia and new headlights and taillights. To be fair, all of it is in keeping with VW design language and all of the renders we’ve seen so far.

The inlets nearest the front corners, too, mirrors designs we’ve seen in things like the T-Roc. And the taillights, too, are remarkably like those we VW showed off last week, that we suggested might preview the Mk8’s.

And yet, despite all that, the pictures just have an air of… falseness to them. Maybe it’s the giraffes in the background, or the way that the Golf’s wheels are in perfect focus while the A3’s are fuzzy in the aerial shot, or maybe it’s that these images were shot on a potato, but we’re not totally sold on these pictures.

Whatever turns out to be the case—whether these surprisingly in-focus and suspiciously under-camouflaged pictures turn out to be real or not—the next Mk8 Golf is expected to be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019.
