Justlikes the other Golf models, the GTI will benefit from the new slimmer head lights and new graphics for the rear lights.

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="72703"] We spotted a prototype for the facelifted Audi A6 once again.

Newly shaped are the bumpers, with its new designed air intakes, and we also suspect that the grille will get a few tweaks. This prototy...
