Our spy shooter spotted these two Volkswagen mules, and he found some clues as to what they are. Upon closer look, the cars are marked with stickers that help to identify them.

He suggests the white one is the next generation of Volkswagen Golf VII, which won’t go on sale until 2012. The black one could be a smaller new coupe based on the current Golf VI.

We’re confident the mystery will unravel as more spy shots show up. Click through the gallery above to see the two little Volkswagen mules. The photographer conjectures about them, below.

There are some new Volkswagen mules out and driving. One of them is probably the next generation Golf that will come on a new platform, the MQB (German for Modular Querbaukasten) platform. The prototype is even marked with the MQB sticker at the front wing.

First car out on this new platform is the upcoming Audi A3. And with some confidential papers leaking out regarding that the production of the Golf VI will stop in the end of 2011, we can assume that the Golf VII will arrive at the Frankfurt Car Show in September 2011 and then hit the showrooms early 2012.

The second mule is tougher to figure out what it could be since it seems to run on the “old” PQ35 platform. But we can also see that it’s shorter than the normal 3 door Golf, look closely at the rear wheel and you will see it’s not a perfect fit. The fuel cap is also not in its right place. Could this be a mule for the rumored 2 door Golf Coupe that was supposed to be unveiled at the 2009 Chinese Car Show in Shanghai? A classic 2 door coupe and not like the Scirocco. The same rumors are saying that it will be based on the Golf VI and then the PQ35 platform explains it all. Maybe we will see it at the 2010 Geneva Car Show then.
