The looks of the MK8 are going to be the least of a buyer’s worries, if the price of the new T-Roc R is anything to go by. £38.5k... before options! 
You’re not wrong.
I had a quick nose at the Configurator the other day to compare it spec for spec with the Golf R and came away surprised, and not in a good way.
To be honest the only thing I can say is the AID is nicer in the T-Roc but other than that it’s Golf, Golf, Golf for me.
Im going to trade my 14 plate Gti for a 7.5 TCR next summer I hope-Im not liking the look of the MK8 up to now, although I agree with the comments about we haven't seen a performance version yet. I think I prefer to take my chances with a fully sorted runout model rather than the early "test edition". 
There’s a lot to be said for that.
Especially with something as tech laden as a mk8 when you consider the deals available on the fully developed (and hardly a model that suffered a lot of issues) and well loaded mk7’s right now.
