Where's the ACC/ front assist/ city braking radar unit we all know and love? :whistle:

Good point - if it doesn't have it will be even more expensive to insure compared to the GTI

I actually really like the look of it. I bet it will be a brilliant all weather car. Hopefully it will resist understeer more than the last car, but understeer seems to be the default for most AWD hot\sports cars.

Minus the 'Golf R' wording on the door I like the look of it in the pic

Minus the Golf R writing on the door the pic in the quote above actually looks quite good. I have been unsure about it up till now, even the pics in the Autocar review looked a bit bland and safe in styling terms.  I am sure it will be a car that has looks which will change your opinion dependent on the angle or lighting of the time you are looking at it. 

It's definitely a Marmite car in regards to it's looks, you'll either love it or hate.
