I take most news like this with a pinch of salt... As said, I will wait for the official release... I am eager to see if it will live up to the job of being my new daily driver for next year as I will be giving up the Mazda in April. Can't believe I've had it for three and a half years already!
I had a mk5 and enjoyed it very much but I was put off the mk6 as it didn't come across as good value to me when the time came to change cars. I ended up being a traitor and chose a Mazda 6 over the Golf as the £20k Mazda gave me everything you want from a car and it lived up to it's expectation, the golf came with nothing. I hope the 7 is better equipped as standard, fairly priced and not look as dull as the current Passat.
