Golf 8.5 - you saw it here first!

Here it is folks: https://www.motor1.com/news/689715/volkswagen-golf-gti-facelift-spy-photos/

I do like the slimmer lights at the front, looks a lot more mean/aggressive!

It looks nice. I'm still wondering about the front and rear lights. From what we've seen, rear should look like new passat/tiguan I guess. And the front should change as well (I can't see changes on the picture now, only the shape). And what I love is that the front bumper allows to keep the X-shaped LED lights in the corners, so we will probably see them again (LOVE it during the night riding, all eyes are yours).

This is different?  very subtle changes. Although, do I spy a bigger screen inside?

I believe the front optics graphics is still hidden. It should be more different from the original Golf 8.

I'm inclined to believe this fangs will be lightened as well during the daytime light.

While all the talk of buttons being back and a few front end tweaks are nice....

As long as they fix the bloody crap software the rest doesn't matter!

And I doubt if it will be any different in that respect.

Latest cars are pretty much fine now aren't they? Mine is a year old and doesn't have any issues, plus a few people I know with fairly new golfs also have no issues.

Looks like the driver's dash (screen) will be redesigned as well?

Not heard of any cars post early 2022 being an issue unless example specific (i.e friday cars instead of issues across the board)

Have you seen the video of the new Tiggy where the demo shows it bonging like crazy?

Can you help me with this poll...
