Although we’re less than ten days away from the official launch of the Mk8 Golf, we’re sure you’d rather see the next Golf now. And here it is.

Posted to a Slovak VW fan Facebook page, the pictures appear to be legitimate. And though there are only two pictures, they give us an idea of what to expect from the next generation.

As we’ve seen in countless spy shots and teaser images, VW is committed to its single-bar grille that runs into the top of the headlights. The bumpers, meanwhile, are typical of Volkswagen’s modern design language.

Inside we see VW’s promised wealth of screens that appear to be growing out of the instrument binnacle now. A new steering wheel—not unlike the new Atlas Cross Sport’s new steering wheel—should make interacting with the infotainment easier.

Best of all, though, is the manual gear selector that gives drivers the option of six, blessedly, manually selected gears.

This appears to be a regular Golf, so, unfortunately, we still don’t know if we’ll get to see anything like this when it launches—Scott Keogh told us again on Friday that no decision had been reached about the American Golf, but the GTI and the R remain confirmed.

We’ll have more to tell you about everything going on in this interior, including the quilted seats, when Volkswagen reveals it on October 24.
