Hmmm, well, I won't be rushing down to the showroom to order a mk7 but I do like the look of it so far.
The good news from a mk6 owner's point of view is that the looks are still pretty similar to the untrained eye so that means mk6 values shouldn't drop too suddenly as it still has the current family nose and arse end.
The 3 door mk7 looks loads better with the mk1 style window line. I never did like the mk5 3 door as it made a long car look too plump.
I'll pay close attention to what sort of prices the mk7 GTI/D comes in at and maybe get a few speculative prices from a dealer at launch to see if it's worthwhile but I don't think it's the giant leap people would have you believe seeing as the mk5 and mk6 are pretty accomplished cars anyway.
I still have a mk6 R itch to scratch... there's one been hanging around a dealer not too far from me for a while now... DSG too...
Anyway, cautious thumbs up from me for the mk7
