Yesterday, offical photos of Volkswagen’s up-coming 6th generation Golf/Jetta platform (also known as the MkVI) and body were leaked to the Internet.

The photos (shown below) reveal Volkswagen’s next design move towards a more agressive design style.

The agressive front-end design takes cues from the production-level model of the 2009 Scirocco sports coupé (currently avaliable in Europe only). While the slender headlights and dominating lower grille work in favor for the Scirocco’s exotic design nature, it’s not meant to be stamped out on to every Volkswagen model. The new design looses touch with Volkswagen’s current “water fall” design currently found on the 5th generation models: Golf/Rabbit, Jetta, GTI, Eos, and Tiguan.

The rear end design of the hatchback models continue taking design cues from other models. The Golf, GTI, and (eventual) R32 hatchbacks, recieve an updated tail light design from the companys’ mid-sized SUV, the Touareg. While the tail lights appear to be an improvement over the 5th generation design, some may not like the “Mini-Touareg” appearance the car reflects.

The interior is also largely revised and updated for the upcoming 2010 model year, and once again takes styling cues from another model, the Tiguan. However, unlike the questionable front and rear designs, the updated Tiguan-insipred door panels are a welcomed change for the platform. The dashboard and control placement remain largely unchanged, aside from some minor tweaks here-and-there which enhance the refreshed interior.

The overall body remains largely the same, which gives the car more of a mid-model design change rather than an “all-new” design.
