2010 Volkswagen GTI – click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\nIn 1983, Run-DMC was fresh (which meant dope), Volvo<\/a> 760 Turbos weighed 3,300 pounds and the 2,200-pound Volkswagen<\/a> GTI<\/a> made its U.S. debut. In 2010, the Rabbit-turned-Golf<\/a> entered its sixth generation and attempted to draw a clear line to the first-generation car. The historical link has been made especially clear in the 2010 Volkswagen GTI, though it’s gone through the typical changes you face when you hit your 30s. The GTI is now 1,000 pounds porkier, but it’s still as slick as a greased pig when it comes to handling.<\/p>\n

Inside, there’s plaid seat upholstery and higher-quality materials. Just like it was back in ’83, the underhood motivation is only available from a four-cylinder, a change from recent generations that could be stuffed with Volkswagen’s VR6. At a glance, the 2010 model promises to be more visceral than its direct predecessors, but does it come anywhere near the primal magic of the original, or is it just playing dress-up? Click through to the jump to find out.<\/p><\/div>\n
