April 9, 2009- The Volkswagen Golf VI was named the 2009 World Car of the Year by a jury of distinguished automotive journalists from around the world.
The Volkswagen Golf VI beat out 50 other nominees from around the world to take the honor.
According to a press release issued by the World Car of the Year jurors, “The new Golf VI employs Scirocco styled grille and headlights and larger tail lights. However, it also feels more expensive than other family hatches, thanks to its solid build and high quality cabin."
