Agree with the comments by Edi35
The other thing is that those pictures are quite heavily processed and this is affecting the 'real' look of the car. The standard Mk7 does have that sleek / modern look about it and if they get it right on the GTI, I think we're in for a treat. I for one can't wait until the official R pics are released...
IMHO there is no substitute for seeing the car in the flesh - a picture can be very deceptive.
