Obviously in disguise still  :wink:

I expect it to look something like this when finally released in its true colours :-

Indeed. I'm sure it won't have a "Golf" badge for starters. And the second badge on the left looks like "Bluemotion" or such like. No doubt a lot different from the final car.

I'm hoping it looks like the David kiss mock up - far more R - the other one looks like a mule which might have all the underpinnings to test the mechanical performance/set up but they'll keep the 'looks' under wraps until the launch or near it!
