^ +1. Makes Front Assist a really valuable feature when people are distracted by swiping and touching the screen, rather than focusing on the road ahead!

Oh and also from the reviews I linked earlier, in case you haven't read them...

The ACC radar module is now hidden behind the badge on the front, so goodbye ugly hole on the Mk7.5.

I know several people talked about the Passat already having this and now so does the Golf.

Probably makes it less vulnerable to impacts, snow and rogue carrier bags now.

In the GTD Estate review,one of the accompanying photos shows a 3 door GTD alongside the Estate - can anyone
work out what the colour is - looks like it could be the new isaac blue,in which case it looks very nice indeed !

What a crap name for the colour when the Germans call it an English name in the first place.

I think the one in the estate review background is Indium Grey.

Isaac Blue; nice colour, even if it is a weird name! I think it would be on my shortlist. Reminds me of Graphite Blue on the mk5 and mk6 Golf.

Just configured a Golf GTI on the VW website. I know the colours in the configurator aren't a true representation of the actual colour, but based on an Isaac Blue and an Indium Grey Golf in the configurator, IMO the colour in the photo above looks much more like Isaac Blue than Indium Grey. Whichever of the two it is, I like it!
