you are absolutely right, there is nothing wrong with the Mk4, or the BMW Mk5.

but the GTI thing is over, it died at the end of Mk2s. The Mk3 tried in vain to carry it on, but they just werent fun. They were bought by old people, who thought that they could be cool like the Mk2.

People who bought Mk1 and Mk2s were different, they were standing out from the crowd. When the Mk3 turned up, the crowd wanted to stand out. And thats what happened.

but as i said earlier, the GTI thing died. Even VW gave up on GTI and made a VR6 which set the top of the marque apart. And from there - the GTI badge was compromised.

Are you knocking NISSANMAN? ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D

Can't have red ones might get a few tarts mistaking the neons for a place of work.   :D

Have to admit when I was younger I did like the blue neons under the cars that cruised about town. Thats when they first came in though. Sad I know but I was young at the time and usually drunk. When Guildford Cruise didn't have all the police about and you could race each other. Those were the days.

nono, the spirit of the GTI is dead. its now being paraded around by money men to sell a few extra cars. its a corpse being dragged behind the cart of whichever manufacturer decides to name a car GTI. they drill the pedals - quick call it a "GTI". they put an alloy on it - it must be a "GTI". the interior has a carbon fibre panel - quick lets rush to slap a "GTI" badge on it....

i agree, that we shall agree to disagree though in this case.
