VW is launching a new Golf that hits dizzy heights of fuel economy. The Bluemotion Golf concept goes on-sale mid 2009 and should clock a stonking 74.3mpg, better than the Prius and VW's existing Bluemotion Polo.
The current Bluemotion Golf already manages a respectable 62.8mpg, but VW says it's bumped the economy of the new model through low resistance tyres, new gearing and other efficiency tweaks. It'll pack a 1.6 litre diesel engine and do 0-60 in 11.3 seconds. Pricing is to be confirmed.
If you're after a green VW right now, check out our reviews of the Bluemotion Polo and Bluemotion Passat.
The new Bluemotion Golf Concept's rated at 99g CO2 per km

Why can't they just take the TDI which already gets about 50mpg and goes 0-60 in about 7 secs and add electrical hybrid complimenting componentry for 80 mpg?
