For those who don't like conservative styling, ABT have been at it already. Just Google Images "ABT Golf 7)  :sick:
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

This is like Deja Vu with the Mk 6  :grin:

I remember the same criticism with the Mk 6 ...  but one thing is for sure ... the VW Golf designs always seem to grow on you over time while other more modern looking deisgns usually go out of fashion a lot quicker.

I know about him. I actually liked  his alfa designs and was looking forward to his designs of the SEAT range.
Sadly he went a bit odd and ended up making the SEAT range look like a family of Mr potato heads that are pissed lieing down.
