The Week That Was: Diesel Civic And Dualis, New Kuga And Latest Golf Debut

• Launches: Diesel Civic and Dualis, new Kuga SUV and new Golf Hatch
• New Subaru WRX spied testing
• Volvo announces Australia-bound S60 Polestar
• Volkswagen teases next Tiguan
• Australian International Motor Show needs a reno'
• Massive airbag recall announced

What a week.

One of the most anticipated new cars of the year - the Mk VII VW Golf - has finally hit Australia, on sale and in showrooms from April 27.

It has already claimed the World Car of the Year title and been awarded a 5-Star ANCAP safety rating (the petrol models, at least).

Priced from just $21,490 it is hard to see the new Golf being anything other than a continuing success in the Australian market. As always, time will tell.
