Why say its slower than a mk5 GTi?
It has more bhp/PS and a lot more torque?
I think its a good step forward IMO, and the lower tax band and better mpg makes much more sense today.
My only gripes with the mk6 as per everyone else is the rear lights, which we have been told will be different on the GTi and the reocurring images showing that red banding around the top grill as per the W12, its just too much red IMO.
Anyhow this car looks promising and more exicting than the Rocco GT. Although a Rocco GTi might be e better bet, if not at least to get rid of that 4x4 wheel arch look.
Looking forward to Paris Show.
