I've had the i30n facelift and now the new Ford Focus facelift ST-line.

You seem to have a bit of a thing for facelifts by the looks of it.

Lol that's true! Getting these two facelift cars was a fluke due to not getting the mk8  :smiley:

Interesting, mk 8.5 seen testing on roads today in Germany

Looks to be very minor changes on the outside, slimmer headlights and new fog lights and can't really tell much of a difference to the rear. I suppose most of the changes will be on the inside.

In my opinion, the rear lights on that car likely have vinyl over them, I’d bet the inner light will be much slimmer too, very much like the iD3.

Got the below from the general Golf 8 forum which someone had posted...

Heard that the Golf 8.5 presentation will be in November 2023 and first sales in Germany around same time.
Here's what was mentioned:
Three new colors: Oyster Silver Metallic, Grenadilla Black, Anemone Blue Met.
New headlights
New graphics for the rear lights
New rims
New bumpers
New internal inserts
Plug-in version with the 1.5 tsi
New 12.9" central display
New electronics.

All pretty much standard fare for a VW mid-life facelift. I wonder what the ‘new electronics’ are? Maybe reverting back to physical controls for the most used functions?

Hopefully, VW will have finally got their act together and have the software issues well and truly sorted.

It’s not clear how speculative this is.
