Volkswagen is unveiling its most important automotive secret of the year: the new Golf. The car – Europe's most successful with more than 26 million sold – was improved in all areas. "This sixth generation of Golf cars will completely redefine the quality and comfort level of its class over broad categories, offering more customer value than ever before"

Will Volkswagen build the new Golf and Jetta (a.k.a. MKVI or MK6) slightly smaller and significantly lighter? If we take a look at gas prices already above $4 and climbing towards $5 the answer seems to be geared towards… YES!... Carbon fiber to be used as an economical alternative.
