Looks ok to me, not as nice as a 306 though, not as smooth and rounded off.

Still happy with my turbo though, and wouldn't want to change it.

The shape is growing on me after an initial 'urrrgh' phase.
What I do like the sound of is;
a) The chassis actually being up to the job of carrying a GTi badge and taking the fight to the focus (renound as the class-leader for chassis dynamics)
b) The DSG 'box from the V6 TT (I'm not old enough for a full auto yet, but I drive in london all day, so I wanna give my clutch foot a rest!!)
c) The range of engines - a 2 litre FSi Turbo with 200bhp? Yes please. A rumour of a 2.3L 5 cylinder diesel unit with more torque than you can shake a stick at? Don't mind if I do

I think if it can maintain the strengths of the Mk4 (build quality, comfort, overall pace) and deliver the driving dynamics the car mags are promising us, I think it will be an awesome, awesome car, and I for one will be getting one.

That is unless they announce a successor to the Corrado, in which case I'll cast it aside ion a heartbeat in favour of the coup!  ;D
