Haha!  The likeness is uncanny!   :laugh:

I think Gromit’s expression sums up what we all feel about the big reveal so far.

It’s not working for me. Really don’t like the stuck on tablet look to the dash, and not available with the correct number of doors  :wink:  Even happier that I pushed the button on my TCR now I know what the future holds.

Putting personal opinions aside I’d say that VW have again done an excellent job of evolution rather than revolution and the mild update to styling plus the extra autonomous features will surely keep the Golf in the top five sales charts until the ID range replaces it.

That’s what I said to the wife shortly before she punched me in the face.

Front looks good but still very “Golf”. After a Mk 7 and then a 7.7 think I am ready for a change hence the BMW order.

Nice colour swap and suspension drop  :cool:

I think we will all be rather surprised at how good the performance model look when they are launched. That R Line yellow doesn't do it any favours.

I do have an issue with the shape of the rear lights though as really not too keen on those angles.

Interesting the white one is badged as a Style so we can expect GTI and R are going to look way more aggressive.

Ps repost sorry!
