I like the shape and poise - looks more angular and has hints of the Scirroco in it - particularly with the crease in the boot - makes it look less slab like.
Agree re the red stripes in the headlamps - not so sure at the moment. Is that an indicator or badge on the front wing by the A-pillar?
I like the alloys as well

If I get time, I'm popping down to my dealers tonight so will see if I can get some more information from them on timings/prices/options....
