The Golf IV is still sold under the name "Golf City" - so the Golf V is called a "Rabbit" to avoid the confusion. The 5th generation GTI is called GTI and not a Golf GTI...
I was wrong: The Golf MK1 was in Mexico the Caribe and after launching Golf Mk2, the name Caribe was never used and the Caribe in Mexico received the name from Europe and bla bla: "GOLF". In Fall 2009 the new Golf Mk6 will be released in the US/Canada as "Golf" dropping the name: "Rabbit". (Infos: Wikipedia article about the Golf). So: till fall 2009: Rabbit=Golf, upcoming fall 2009: All new VW Golfs and VW Rabbits of this world are "VW Golfs". My apologies.
It's nice car, don't realy care about name. I just bought one last week awesome car with its 170 horespower it can beat many cars of its class with perfect handling.... love it !!

Arrogant Americans strike again - In the mass majority of the world including Germany where this car originates - it is a Golf - therefore.......its really a Golf. The name Rabbit is naff!
You're an arrogant mother fucker for saying stupid shit like that. Christ, I'm fucking sick of you stereotyping fags. 'Dirty American's, 'Stupid, fat Americans'. Shut the fuck up already you tard.
its like saying who wants a car called a beetle but still the car is like one of the most popular cars in the world, you dont make since, Rabbit is the real name for the VW Golf, if you look back i n the 80's the GTI is called the Rabbit GTI, and even still today i have the MKV GTI myself, and i rather call it the Rabbit GTI than the Golf GTI because referring to Rabbit makes the car seem faster!
Oohhh don`t talk so. Rabbits (I mean those cute little long eared rodents running everywhere in municipals garden) are famous due to their extreme fertility. The aussies can tell you more; and, with more than 20 millions cars the american nickname for VW golf fits very well.
Are the old ones reliable? How about the trucks?

VW Rabbit (USA, Canada) = VW Golf (Europe, and rest of the world)= VW Caribe (Mexico). There are different names for one car in the world.
