Relax. These latest pictures are only the result of a gifted Auto Express photoshop artist with a lively imagination. They are not the real thing. If you want to find out what the Golf VII will genuinely look like, then you have to read the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport. This consistently shows exactly what future models look like.
This particular rendition is far too close to the Polo for comfort and way too square. The new Golf is rumoured NOT to have lost its curves. Unfortunately, VW have put Walter Da Silva, formerly of Audi, in charge of exterior design and, given recent Audi dogs such as the Q7 and cookie-cutter A4, A6 and A8, it is fair to say that he is rapidly becoming VW's own version of Chris Bangle.
