I don't know how I feel about the lack of visual design progression. I think that often when new cars are released you expect something radical to announce to the world that it is NEW! But then again, I imagine the large majority of people here have bought the Golf because of it's restrained, some might say classy, looks. But how pissed off would you have been if you ended up with a cabin like the Honda Civic!

CTR (not so much imo), ST and VXR are all miles away as far as interiors go than the GTI imo.

I agree with TT, the mk6 looks to be an improved Mk5 (mk5 must have been good!) - completely different from the mk3->mk4->mk5 jumps.

I do hope they keep the flat bottomed steering wheel for the GTI model

Had a megane... total and utter useless crap!! Golf is 10x better interior... apart from the head rests! The head rests on the megane are some of the most comfortable ever.. esp for power naps. Not sure how safe they are tho :undecided:
