I did read an article about the MK8 coming out with an electric-assisted motor in 2019 in the UK.

I'm not sure how reliable that is.
There's this too, but it looks a bit concept-y

Yuck. Fuck hybrids. Either go all electric or all gas.Wonder how close this will be to the final product - http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volksw...8-bold-interior-design-hybrid-tech-and-latest
I'm not a big fan of the front, but the back looks good. I love those taillights, but the exhaust pipes are weird, and it looks like it's got a huge third brake light. The changes to the front end just look a little too priusy.
Imagine a Hybrid MK8 Golf R with individual electric motors and each wheel!!! BONER!! Ladies and gentlemen the best era for cars is back!!. Just look at what we have already and we have been waiting since the 90s. The La Ferrari, NSX, Hellcat Demon, Type R civic and the up an coming Supra. Tesla with the P100d model S. Car heaven is back. Only thing that sucks is US will no longer see a 2 door golf. FML
