Interior looks VERY VERY similar to that of the MK5, not a big difference. Look at the interior of a MK4 and a MK5 and they are worlds apart. I am liking the front but like many others on here still very much undecided about the rear. Saying that tho, I think a standard MK5 is pretty boring, GTI is a diffrent league visually so going to reserve my judgement until I see a MK6 GTI.

....I agree with Alan on this one - Am reserving my judgement.

Let's face it guys, we're really only interested in what the Mk6 GTI (and hopefully GTI-R later) is like.

Same here, will wait to see one in the flesh and then decide

I think the interior looks great, may be even up to Audi standards if the quality is right.

Makes good sence to me for them to do both rather than limit themselfs with the current Ed30 engine or using the older GTI engine that are ~190g/km and maybe putting some new buyers off in the future years due to the rising cost/scales of road tax price the goverments only going to keep upping them in the coming years not just here but also other places.

Erm, the GTI and the Ed30 are of identical design and construction.  The Ed30 just has a few different bolt-on bits, such as a bigger turbo and a few other bits - so how can you say the GTI engine is "older"?   

3: The R32 does not currently over shaddow the GTI. Granted we are talking about an S3 in Golf cloths but again some would say it does not overshadow the GTI either. It all depends on your priority's. Power is not everything.

Not really, the R32 uses the very outdated VR6 lump, which has shocking emissions, compared to the much newer 2.0TFSI 4-pot in the S3.

Doubt it.  This latest Golf most definately aint a "Mark 6" - more like a Mk5.5.  Because it has an identical floorpan, and identical suspension layout.  It even uses the identical firewall to the Mk5s.

from the side it is identicle to a mk5

That steering wheel, a/c controls etc are in the new Passat CC which do feel really nice and are an improvement over the outgoing. The one thing I would say is the a/c controls are not as easy to read/use as the current ones. Just seem a bit fussier!?!?
