Thanks RR.

I have to agree the back near the window etc is very similar to the new 1 series sedan and the first car with that design in the rear was of course the new Audi A4. I think that VW is trying to follow that design but got it sort of wrong.

I love how wide and mean it looks.

....It's very rounded in shape. Very colour sensitive too - Will look either great or rubbish.

Was round at the dealers today and saw one in the flesh.  I think the interior looks brill.  Love the seats, although not sure why they didn't put stainless steel on the pedals?  Not totally convinced about the exterior.  The front badge doesn't look right and the rear isn't my cup of tea, too much Vauxhall.  The wheels look well.  It was in black so not sure if another colour would look better.  All in all it looks quite sedated, not as aggressive as the GTi but each to their own.  Spoke to one of the salesmen and the earliest you can get one is February!

Also got a dv valve (thats a different thread!) when I was there.  Getting it fitted this saturday. My brothers 140 tdi is quicker at the moment :cry:

Haven't read the whole thread (actually, haven't read any of it), but remove the badge and from the front it screams ' Peugeot'  :huh:

Well, I've been down to the local dealers and they have a glorious RED Scirocco in the showroom. It looks verrry nice, although I agree that the arse end looks a bit heavy. One think that immediately drew my attention was that on 18" alloys it sits on 235 section Pirelli tyres rather than the 225 section on the ED30/GTI. :huh:

I also managed to nick blag one of the first batch of poster brochures for the launch night :wink:

Red and tan leather.....mmmmmmm

Not tempted RR?
