I think I may actually like the look of it. Though wanna see it in another colour other than gold!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

It will probably be a decent drive though when all said and done.


....Not if the Ford RS is anything to go by. Like driving a small van, styled like a cross-channel ferryboat. Fast, but.... No thank you.

behave.  you might sit up high but the standard RS is as good, maybe even better than a pretty heavily modded Mk5 platform motor  RR you must almost be the ultimate VAG fan boy  :wink:
that is the worst looking hot hatch ever, the old one was crap but looked ok.

im not a fan of this either.  Id bet it will be good to drive.  fast fords are always good fun

....I'm more of a German car fan than just VAG. Whether it's "better" than my modified Mk5 is very subjective and certainly not my view of the Ford RS - I simply didn't enjoy it enough to even consider buying one. It's fast but that's all. The only Fords which have ever excited me are the American V-engine'd ones and even then, Chevvy's are preferable.

I just don't like Ford styling - IMO it looks cheap and plastic but not plastic in a nice way. Fortunately we all like different things. (I prefer Seats to Skodas too).  :happy2:

....A town in Germany? - If so, not too far from Luxembourg and also Nurburgring.

Now tell me that Ford build cars there!
