It is the same colour as the hedge behind it. Who in their right mind wants a car that is invisable against a hedge?

I do not think they would sell many in that shade over here.The Germans have always had a thing for green Golfs.Usually in a much lighter shade (like Clio Alien Green).

Too dark. Ideal would be a smidge bolder than Scirocco Viper green (which looks a bit washed out as it is IMO).

I like it but I wouldn't choose it. I did always prefer oak green mk2's to any other colour though and it's not a million miles from that.

Probably the same type of person who would buy one in a colour that blends in with the colour of road surface.

Only looks good on MG so not a fan on the Golf

(would say that as had British Racing Green MG Midget when 18, which when checked on the GOV.UK tracker was still running up to 3 years ago)

Green looks wrong to me.
I never got the whole oak green MK2 thing either.
