| The name ''GTI'' was first used in 1976, in reference to [[Volkswagen]]'s high-performance trim level of the [[Volkswagen Golf|Golf]] (known as the [[Volkswagen Rabbit|Rabbit]] when it debuted in North America in 1983). The [[Volkswagen]] GTI is widely credited with beginning the first in the ''hot hatch'' or European hatchback genre. While a GTI was released for the 2006 model year, [[Volkswagen]] redesigned the car in early 2006, calling it the "New GTI."
