Saw one as well on the weekend and I thought it looked quite nice. Its nicer than the standard mk5 which has that black part on the bottom of the rear bumper which Audi used to do which I think looks awful...so much better when its all colour coded IMO

The rear bumpers arent colourcoded according to the vw website. The rear bumper, front splitter and sideskirts are all black/grey in every pic ive seen. Yet to see one on the road yet though.. the one's youve seen must be demo models.

how quick is the FSI / GTI?

is the GTI based on the 180bhp 1.8T tech?

Must be lots of press cars about too, judging by the amount of magazines the new GTI is in lately.


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.
