Wow, gorgeous

 

[vi edit]

Back end looks very matrix'esque. Not sure if I like it. I know I don't like the tail lights. That' for certain. Other than that, just looks like a MKIV w/ a body kit.

 

[boyRacer]

That looks purdy... can't say the same about where BMWs styling department is going.

 

[aphex]

np, VWVortex hasn't posted pics yet because they are abiding by the press embargo.... but they had a link to this page in the forums.

Meh. I was also thinking it looks like a Civic Si. Or the Matrix. It seems to have lost some of the distinctiveness that VWs usually have.

 

[EvilYoda]

Wow, nice changes!! I've been looking into getting a car, and a Golf was on my list...

At least it's good to look at, regardless of whether they're reliable or not.

how do you know? you are sleepless and distraught from having not found that song

 

[Doggiedog]

Looks nice but kind of like a Civic Si.

Wonder what the GTI will look like.

 

[fs5]

its not that great looking, I'm sure it'll grow on me though.

What are th engine options for US? 2.0T comfirmed?

 

[thomsbrain]

wow, they didn't copy the styling on that car from anyone! it's totally original! hey, those wankers at honda stole the shape from VW! how did they do that? maybe a time machine... i think honda used the same time machine to steal styling from every camry ever made, too...

it's basically a given that 2-3 years after honda makes a new shape, you'll get a copycat. the poor camry has been tagging along on the accord's shape since it was introduced. i just never thought VW would have to stoop to it, too.

 

[JYDog]

I like it. The current one looks a little better imo.

 

[N8Magic]

I love it!

Hopefully with our new tighter diesel requirements that will be coming into effect soon, VW will bring the PD150 diesel engine (150hp, 236lb.ft, 55MPG) over here.

 

[isekii]

The headlights I think kinda resembles the RSX,

I really like the current design much more than the new one.

 

[NFS4]

The front end looks nice...the back looks totally whacked out
