It doesn't look like a Golf to me. It looks like something bland, no character. It looks Japanese, Toyota even.

I liked the old one more.
Anyways, I wouldn't buy a VW regardless of styling.

I have a 2002 GTI and I *LOVE* it. It's definitely one of the most fun cars I've ever owned.

The only problem is that there seem to be a million of them in my 'hood in SF.

I'm not liking it. I really like the current gen, but this... nope. Looks familiar... it has that bloated look that reminds me of.. this.

Some pretty unhappy VW fans @ the Vortex... scroll down to see SteveH's reasoning on the new design... lol.

It looks like a new Civic Si

Looks very much like the Civic hatch/Si/Type-R, but I LOVE the styling.

That's funny. Because I see the latest Honda and Lexus commercials, which include people speaking in German, and I think, "Hmmm.... I wonder who is copying who?"

i dont prefer the styling, but the R32 sounds good, 4 wheel drive + 300hp turbo VR6, mmm.

I heard rumors they are making one with a twin turbo over 500+ horse as an option!

Either way I bet the car drives like a dream. I'm guessing $40 G's retail? I knew all that loose change would come in handy.

It looks pretty good compared to its competitors.
