Exactly, I was also going to post that. It jolted my brain into wondering what was going on far more than the first coffee of the morning.  :smiley: They are the only 18" wheels and to my mind to look over fussy, not a fan.

Good to see the availability of the active info display, almost reasonably priced at €510 ? I thought it would have been more?

I am never a fan of these computer photo derivations, but even for those who know the cars, you have to look hard to see much difference over the mark 7.

Is it me or have they taken a nice simple design and made it overly fussy?

The base model Golfs look a bit sharper but the GTI just looks overly fussy at the front and aside from the sweeping indicators the rear lights don't look as nice to me either.
I do like how on the .de configurator you can specify light or dark (with lights on) backgrounds. Unless you can do that on the uk one too and I've just never taken any notice of it(?)

Ah ha! That makes more sense, I expected it to be around €1000, I shouldn't have fallen into the trap of expecting a bargain on a VW configurator...Will I ever learn?  :cry:

They are amongst the worst looking wheels I have ever seen. And I mean all 4 available options !
I'll stick to my Austins.

I like that new seat upholstery option...

And you can spec prets on the GTI, an 18" version?!

I like the 18" Prets in black against red and that 3 door is still available! I don't want a 5 door and if they ditch 3 door models then I won't be back (although I suspect my demands won't be taken into account by VW....). Overall I think the new one looks good as it is so similar and I like the new front bumper too. Good to have more choice in wheels but the colour choices are rather bland and limiting (apart from red of course). Only one engine output choice or did I miss a PP version?
