Forget raising the bar—the sixth generation of this hot hatch has built a giant ramp and jumped it. Starting around $23,290, the 2010 GTI has a more aggressive exterior, backed up by a throaty 2.0 liter, 200 hp, turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine that can haul ass but still get up to 31 mpg on the highway. Inside it’s more akin to a luxury ride with heated seats, a red-stitched leather steering wheel, and a touch-screen music system, complete with iPod dock. Now, where’s that ramp?
