Not sure about it.

Not really impressed with the design differences either. It is typical VW - evolution and not revolution :undecided:

The GTI MkV is a great car.  No wait, it's a fantastic car.  They don't need to go back to the drawing board IMO.  It just needs a few tweaks and adjustments, maybe refine the interior some more, give it more grunt and stuff and hey presto, a fine successor to the MkV.

I think the MkVI pics that have been released are stunning.  The car looks really, really good and I can only imagine how the GTI may look.  Think positive people!!!

I'm still reserving judgement until I have seen one in the flesh. :wink:

If I had one wish at the moment it would be that VW announce a racing K04 version of the Scirocco :cool:

I'm not sure about it yet, will have to wait and see the GTI version.  Like a lot of people I didn't really like the mk v until I saw the GTI, then I went and got one  :grin:

Im hoping its not gonna look too good, or ill end up chopping in for one if its got more then 230 bhp.

....If you do get one, make sure your dealer fits the Millteks for you before you pick it up. No explaining 'expensive pipes' to the missus 'bank manager'! :evil:

....Even stranger because I happen to know that Hella have been doing some LED lighting development for VW. LED lighting technology is surely the way forward?

You see this with BMW though don't you....The last E46 Coupe's that came out had LED rear brake and indicator lights, however when E92 came out (the current 3 Series Coupé), there was no LED technology to be seen...! I think it's just their way of extending the product lifecycle by gradually implementing different features. So expect LED lights at the facelift maybe?

I don't like it at all!

Still unsure on that Scirocco shape grill and the rear end now seems to look like an estate rather than a hatch!

A GTI version will be interesting, wonder how/if they will incorporate the red grill piping!?
