Nooooooooooo, is it me or do the rear lights look like the same ones as on the tiguan?
I thought they looked similar to the Toureg and that is the only part of the car im struggling with but other than that its awesome! :cool:

Blimey go away for a month or 2, you account gets deleted and you lot are going crazy over the mk6 !! LOL   :laugh:

The mk6 was made because the mk5 is costing VW to much money to make ! The mk5 is over engineered !!!!

Look at the new Air con in the mk6 its a sh!ttier version than the mk5s dual climate. The suspension and chassis and body has been engineered down to reduce costs.

The Mk5 takes 37 hours to make, this new car takes 22 hours , WHY ??? because the oompa loompas are on speed ?  NO !

Also this mk6 looks crap, what are you lot on, the mk5's face is perfect i love that grill !!

i'll take Redrobins, Hurdys, Bens golf all day long over the weaksauce that is mk6 , that is all !

Mk5 is a lovely looking car if it aint broke, then mod it, but for f**ks sake dont think of making a cheaper version with a ugly face.

Ps its good to be back !

Nice to have you back E30M3!!, we had a major server crash which lost 2 months of data, hense why your account vanished.

Good points you have made there.Especially build times, built in half the time can only mean half the detail.I look foward to when 1st drives

start to appear about it.

Cheers Phil was missing this place !!   :kiss:

 you've become a mod  :cool:

Yeah i will reserve about the way it drives till well i drive it !!!

The looks however are really not doing it for me , it looks like an aesthetic mess, like something Bangle would do after dropping a few too many Smarties!!!

The mk5 is such a clean and beautiful design !  :smiley:

^You're right, Egbert - It looks very Mk4 in general stance.

Looking at those pics again and I do like it - which brings me to my point, it really is just a Mk5 facelift to bring it in line with the VW cost cutting exercise.

Yup, all they have done is painted the inners in black instead of grey, added a few interior bits and the nose from the Scirocco.

You can tell they have been influenced by the Porsche school of lazy development :grin: :laugh:
