What country is this? The Golf next to the Ford is odd. I didn’t think they even had Golfs in the US, and some of those other cars look too big for most countries in Europe.

There were Golfs for decades in the US, and we initially sold them as Rabbits, and built tons in Pennsylvania. Now they only sell the GTI and R32, but no standard Golf as it were.

Huh. I hadn't realized that they stopped making the TSI.

I loved my '09 TDI & '12 GTI. Sadly traded in my golf for something that was more capable in the remote trails and forest roads as I frequently go camping in the mountains and the Golf was holding me back from that. My wife recently picked up a used TSI, and that's been fun to drive, but not nearly as fun as the GTIm

So many Golfs in the US. They sold a lot of mk. 3 & 4 Golfs here.
