Which looks better..... Golf R or Golf GTI.

Thought the following poll would be fun, there's some interesting comments about following the Golf R pics in the Warrington VW dealer.
Ok there wheels are blocked up but it's a bit of fun but may give an interesting result!

Well like the mk5 if im truthful i would want a combination of the two. A GTI-R would be nice :evil:

Exterior,
I like the R side better,
I like the GTD rear,
I like the R's LED rear lights best,
I prefer the GTI grill,
I like the R front bumper design better,
I like the R's Day time running lights better,
I like the GTI fogs.
I like the R's 19" wheels more.
I would prefer the R's brakes.

I want a GTI badge as people actually know what it is!

Interior,
I like the GTI cloth interior design but it would be much better in half leather!

I just could not pick one over the other in standard spec on looks alone.

The GTI is undoubtedly the better looking car :cool: but I'll still buy the R.

I'm going to sit on the fence.
I like aspects of both, and the GTD too whilst we're at it.......  :nerd:

As someone else said I prefer the GTI front but the R rear.  Wouldn't turn one down though  :drool:

As above - its a GTI forum and although there are a few prospective Golf R owners, the majority are GTI - so I would guess the results will be about 90% v 10% by the time everyone has voted!!

I like both cars...
I like the R from the side as it has skirts instead of black plastic strips.
I like the R rear lights - but I prefer the GTI split exhausts.
I like the R front better - although the grill is a little understated.
I hate Monza's... so I prefer the R wheels.
Interior wise - I don't think there is any difference apart from a couple of badges here and there.
