Not sure how accurate this is, but what on earth have they done to it?!

That’s absolutely hideous. Glad I ordered the mk 7.5!
All subjective but I totally disagree. Love the chunky shape of the golf except the front end on the performance models. It's just not aggressive enough, not enough like the front grill on the Audi A3/s3.
The front grill is much more imposing on that mk8. I really hope it turns out like that.
Also, would fully expect the mk8 Gti to go to 300 BHP and R to be nearing 400 BHP. 260 is only 15 BHP more than the current PP GTI. I would expect a much bigger jump than that with 48V Hybrid.
Sadly, I reckon they'll be a price hike too to go with it.
Hopefully, we'll start to see some concrete details soon. I don't expect to see MK8 GTIs or Rs in people's driveways till Autumn 2020 though.
