Looks like a Golf  it is a Golf, but better looking and cheaper.

There are echos of Lambo design language in the front end methinks  :whistle:

It's still let down by the crappy interior. If they employed someone who can design decent interiors then it would be a decent alternative to a golf.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I'm not talking about the materials, i'm talking about the layout. It doesn't cost anymore money to come up with a better layout apart from the person's time to think and draw. And since that person is probably employed by Seat and not a contractor then it doesn't cost them anything anyway as they are already paying that person an annual wage.

I think that looks better than the new Golf. Which looks like a MK6 by the way.  :whistle:
