Dealers are only just starting to receive the 2014 models for their showrooms, and already automotive journalists are talking about the 2015 models. Many of which have already been previewed at the various automotive shows this season. We've got the details on Volkswagen's 2015 GTI. To note- Volkswagen's North American models are usually a couple of years behind their European line-up, so there are few surprises once they hit our shores. Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the GTI will leave the Ford Focus ST and the MazdaSpeed3 in it's dust. Like always, the Volkswagen GTI is based on the Golf, the seventh edition of the name and winner of the 2014 European Car of the Year award. The GTI shares the same steel sheets as the Golf, but boasts refinements that are specific to the GTI: a more imposing air deflector in front, a larger air intake, a rear spoiler and a rear diffuser that incorporates stainless steel exhaust tips.
