They do look pretty cool, but then again they are held together with Wilko value no more nails and have more rattles than a flagship Mothercare.

i think all new cars look the same

new megane from the rear looks like scirocco... which IMO isn't a bad thing...

The rear of the renault looks better than the scirocco.

60 plate would still be covered by warranty and a loan car provided accordingly  :smug:

And look at the delay to building Mk6s , some of which was down to part availability was it not  :rolleyes:
