Today's car is the 2006 Volkswagen Golf V GTI.

The Volkswagen Golf is a subcompact car manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen since 1974, marketed worldwide across seven generations, in various body configurations and under various nameplates – as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada (Mk1 and Mk5), and as the Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico (Mk1).

The Golf Mk5 was introduced in Europe in 2003. In North America, Volkswagen brought back the Rabbit nameplate when it introduced the vehicle in 2006. The North American base model is powered by a 2.5 L five-cylinder engine, which produced 112 kW (150 hp) in 2006 and 2007, but was upped to 127 kW (170 hp) in the later models. A GTI version is powered by a turbocharged version of the 2.0 TFSI engine, producing 147 kW (200 PS).

The Golf has become as much of an iconic nameplate in the US in modern times as the Bug was back in the 60s/70s. Mb offered up numerous versions of this casting since the debut in '06. This purple one is from '09.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
I think this is a most excellent dollar range car. I have several of it. Good job.
