I'm really glad I don't have tight jeans on otherwise I'd be in a very awkward position.

It's growing on me already, the front I really like, the profile is pretty good, but the rear lacks drama.

GTI version will have 211bhp and GTI-R will have 265bhp and 4 wheel drive, which sounds nice.

Well if that's true it bodes well for an R version of the Rocco too.

....Quoted from the link:-

"Power will come from a 211bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre version of the group’s new global EA888 engine, equipped with the new valve-lift system developed by Audi.
Volkswagen is keen to make maintenance easier, and access to the turbo and oil cooler will be improved in a bid to cut servicing costs.

The VW GTI will get beefed-up looks too. It will have new bumpers front and rear, as well as different head and tail-lights. The headlights will have Audi-style LED running lights. Five-spoke 18in alloys will be standard, with 19in items on the options list.

The bad news for six-cylinder Golf fans is that there are no plans to replace the current R32 version, mainly because of EU emissions legislation.
Instead, VW plans to launch a four-wheel-drive R variant with a 265bhp version of the GTI engine."


....Sounds really tasty!! Oh dear! I'm still committed to keeping my very heavily modified Mk5 GTI for more years.

The new Golf has a more 'driver-focused' facia than the last one, with the console swept up in the boundary of the instrument panel – which brings us to the GTI. Evo saw a design-freeze model (no cameras allowed) in metallic white with gigantic 19in wheels whose five inter-spoke holes each resembled the outline of a Bugatti radiator. The white might make production but spraying it consistently is difficult.

The nose features LED lights outlining the main double-unit headlamps, a deeper and wider bumper/valance with Audi R8-like strakes in the outer vents, honeycomb upper and lower grilles, and a red line across the top and the bottom of the upper grille. At the tail, nestling within a diffuser-like valance, are two tailpipes spaced widely apart for visual symmetry. The tail lights have a strip across their base which includes the indicator and either the reversing light or the rear foglight.



quote from Evo, only had my Mk V 2 months, but i'm already saving.
