There are rumors that the beloved Volkswagen Golf will be undergoing a facelift for the Geneva Auto Show. Seems like just last year the Mark 7 debuted. Look for visual tweaks, LED headlights across the range. And best of all, a 420-horsepower high performance version knowns as the Golf R 420 might be sold in the US in the coming years. It’s too early to tell if this will become a competitor to the Ford Focus ST, but we look forward to the return of a high powered hatchback.
