....

The Mk6 does look like an evolution of the Mk4's body rather than the Mk5. It's a Mk5.5 engine in a Mk4.5 body methinks.

It's natural for Mk5 owners to be resistant - We're trying to find reasons not to want it and lose loads of money as you always do on a car change. On the other hand we are critical and so we should be about any new development.

I am not fond of the back lights a-la-Touareg, and exhausts-a-la-AUdi-and-many-others.
Otherwise it is good looking car.
Interior also looks smarter than in MkV. ANd they say the quality is much improved.
If I were considering a new GTI I'd buy Mk6. It makes all the sense.

I have just received a text message off a certain forum regular who is at the Golf MK6 Launch in Germany and has just seen the MK6 GTI, needless to say he was blown away!  :cool:
Unfortunately though, they wouldn't let him in with his camera phone! :sad:
