I think I saw a Golf V in Ontario

Was driving along Highway 400 in Ontario and in the opposite flow of traffic I saw a Golf with grey mouldings (dark grey on a silver car) on the bumpers and door panels, the mouldings were larger then the (body coloured anyways) A4 style ones... and the headlights looked a little different... couldn't really catch the tail lights (traffic got in the way, and I was doing 120kph in one direction, while he was going ~100+ in the other direction).... The kicker - it had a RED liscence plate on it - These are government plates in Canada... I've seen German envoys in Ottawa in G320's with the red plates.... a car that wasn't imported over here for sure... I'm thinking it was some european diplomat or whatnot going for a drive or something.

Another note - there was no DTRL's running on this car, all Golf's sold in Canada have them...

Think it's possible I saw a Golf V, anyone from Europe who's seen one, what do the mouldings on the body look like?

I saw a couple of A5 Golfs in Europe the other week. The tail lights have a distinctive round lamp within them, and the front hood is definitely shorter and more rounded, like a Toyota Echo or something.

If it really had diplomatic (red) plates on it, then they can probably do whatever they want.

Could it have been a diplomat plate of some sort?

Red Ontario plates is diplomatic corps. They can import whatever vehicles they want, tax free!
