Not seen it, but I hear they've also got an article on the slightly face-lifted Pug 307.... or was it the new Astra?  ;)

Has it changed much from the concept? That looked seriously nice, especially inside. Even if they only keep the GTI logo'd deep buckets I'll be happy.

I think the new Golf GTi looks pretty good. the ordinary MK5 is probably the most boring looking car available and is just plain average and really overpriced (hence VW have babies over free offers abroad to get punters in). I'm a bit worried about the new GTI being 'photo friendly' but not looking that great in the flesh so i await the real thing before being really sure. Interior looks class tho.

Still, ?19,500 expected price for 200bhp is an awful lot. especially as 1 or 2 year old 330's are going for not much more.
