Sorry but its not for me theMK7 , looks very frumpy , maybe the GTI might look better. My order will be for the R20 very soon!! :laugh: Currenlty have car Edition30 58 plate amazing motor. Mk7 looks awafull ??? enjoy Steve30 :smiley:

It looks very good from that pic... But then I liked the Mk6 from day one. Never much liked the Mk5 apart from the R32 and Ed30/Pirelli. The rear bumper was awful on the other models and spolied the car in my opinion.
-
I do like the aggressive styling. But I do hope its a completely different car rather than another facelift. Rumours say it has a wider stance?
-
looks like an alpha and astra hybrid!
-
I actually like it, a lot infact.
-
It doesn't look too bad, but it's like everything else. You have to get used to it and generally warm towards it. I didn't like the Audi TT when it first came out, but now I want one.
-
i quite like the look of it but magazines are good at putting up pics of new models and the production version is not nearly like the mag image :laugh:
-
If you think how long it takes to design a new car, then gear up to a production change over, marketing, parts, service engineers trained etc etc and this is all global (ok starting with individual countries!) It's a hell of an operation that takes years. Think of it like the millitary or Microsoft. When a new product is put out there into service, they start to look at the next generation. Clay models of a next gen car about - to 12 months after a new model is out is expected, otherwise you'd have a very expensive design team sitting about.
Also don't forget this could be for a new A3 or even it could be wind up!

As VW said, it's based on the polo platform. The new Polo looks like this.
The design teams will be working on the Mk8 if the Mk7 is due for production in 2 years. I hope the GTI version is a 4 electric motor hybrid. Lots of torque at each wheel should give 0-60 times of less than 5 seconds.

IMO these pictures are not from VW but the graphics department of Autocar.

Still nice looking though...but its def a graphic interpretation of the badly taken production line shot. Hence the UK plates...also can you really see the Monzas lasting till then?? And if they are changing the width then the likelihood of changing the hubs etc i'd say is high.
Front and rear look better than the mk6 though...i still think the lights and grille on these look cheap...
-
the rear lights look like they have taken them straight from the Audi A4 spares bin!

its what you get for sharing ya VAG :laugh:
