Back in March, which was a very long time ago, we of the upcoming, eighth generation . Photos that showed the whole thing, down to the last exterior detail. So it’s a little weird that Volkswagen trotted out this photo of a camouflaged Golf mule today, knowing full well that we all know what the car looks like already.

See you all back here when the new Golf officially drops. We’ve all seen it, we just need to know the specs and the price.
