Need to see a GTI version... but like most say the MKV GTI didnt jump out at me initially - bit of a touch here and there made it look better ;)

As for design well its still based on the Mk5 platform - has this been done before.. mk3 was completely different to the Mk4 which was different to the Mk5 - this looks more like a facelift version

I think it looks great! Even for a non GTi! Bit gutted really, as I was expecting this to come a little later than it has!

Now I really like it! Hope the GTI comes soon  :wink:

Looks great and modern, I hope it gets some good reviews, is faster on the Top Gear track and Clarkson buys one!

 :grin: :grin:  Definitely! I think they will get it right once again with the MkVI - as they have done with the MkV!

I still don't see where the Scirocco fits into the equation though...similar price, similar engines, just a little bigger and sleeker...just don't understand. If they had priced the Scirocco more expensive then it would have made a bit more sense i think.

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!!!
