WTF have they done to the mk7

It looks like it's been slapped in the face.  Anyone seen it in the flesh?



The backside is even worse!!



maybe it's a grower

It's from Auto Express - it'll look nothing like that!

Auto Express are normally pretty bad but that sets new levels. Wonder if they let the work experience lad loose on a Mac?

That's quite an old pic that was going around towards the end of last year.

the back end looks like a Kia Venga.

It will look like that, the last time they previewed the 6 coming out, they got that right  :confused:

Apart from the wheels and Rear boot spoiler, it will resemble that imo

I'm ashamed to say that I do love the rear of that car.  :love:

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

I dont mind the front although it could do with a bigger grill between the bumper and bonnet, the back has to much going on though
