MkVI Shots from today..
« on: 11 December 2008, 19:34 »
Was at my local dealer today getting some bits and the salesman I know there asked if I fancied a peek at the new MkVI that they had in the valet bay ready for the showroom.. Thought may as well have a quick butchers  :wink:
Now ignoring the fact that it is a 2.0TDI and still has the transport blocks in as it's sitting silly high, I didn't think it'd looked to bad..








The interior is fantastic IMO and is a real step up from the MkV. Really looking forward to seeing the new GTI in March. Also has a few new features, including parking camera in the rear VW badge, all colour coded bumpers, and rear washer jet is in the spoiler brake light :smiley:. Along with a few other bits..
Anyway, thought i'd share the pics to see what you boys think? (Camera phone though i'm afraid )

I think the front "grill" has potential of having a rather mean look. Looks cool man and quite cool of the salesman to let you have a peak  :smiley:

The interior look great  :cool:

As for styling well the front is the most sucessful, the rear looks pretty good and the sides are frumpy as with the mk5.

Overall much nicer than the mkV imo

The non-GTI Mk5 looks nasty imo - the Mk6 is a lot better.  However, I don't think the Mk6 GTI looks better than the Mk5 GTI - I think the front is too angular, though the back is ok.  The sides minus the strips is a stupid idea plain and simple - the number of Mk6 GTIs scarred from shopping trips will be witness to that.  Overall, its a Mk5.5 and not worth changing over to unless you don't drive a Golf or you don't have a GTI and want one.

It really has grown on me, I may even like it more than the MKV, hopefully the GTI will look the business in the flesh.

Like the front, not so sure about the back.  I think the standard mkvi looks miles better than the standard mkv.  As for the mkvi gti, i don't get the same feeling as i did when i saw the mkv gti for the very first time - the urge that i've got to get one.

Definitely growing on me !

Still standing by my original opinion that is is a MK5.5. Its too similar to the MK5 for me which is by no means a bad thing, just would have been to see something a little different. Compare MK4 to MK5, imo a massive improvement and a completely different car.

The reason why the standard looks better is because it has fully coded bumpers and non of the cheap looking plastic grey bumpers that are not only on the standard but also on our (fook off ED30 boys ;) GTIs. Its amazing how much better a fully coloured coded car looks.

Looks  :cool:

Interior defo looks a step up. It has potential and appeals to me alot more than the MKV did when it first appeared. I will have one with a 3.2 V6 and 4-wheel drive pls..... oh hang on... I already have one :grin:
