Liking that.  It is not too far removed from the mk6.  See they are persisting with monzas, guess VW aren't bothered by white worm issues.

Hw much do we reckon, shall start saving now, though I am tempted by the Astra VXR.

What does it look like a mk6.5 although the new chassis should make it a true mk7

I wonder if those red bits in the headlights will light up at night!

In GTI spec, it brings an uprated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, now producing 217bhp and 251lb ft. Power's up only marginally, but that's a substantial torque hike, all of it on tap from 1800-5200rpm.

So the next hot Golf is fast: 0-62mph takes just 6.7sec and top speed is 153mph, according to CAR's friendly faces in Wolfsburg.



Lolz for all the dreamers talking of 230bhp-250bhp +

Looks basically the same to me, which isn't a bad thing.

  Good thing I m picking up my new car this weekend...... At least it ll be 2 years before I have to see one of those fly by.

Like all these "scoops", I'd be surprised if the actual car looks exactly like this. It does look a lot like the MK6 which is good news for us I guess! There's a strong resemblance to the latest Polo with that lower bumper too.

I like the rear lights... they're a bit Alfa-like

Is this a joke, looks a mess, no way will it look like that.
