There's a Vauxhall Ashtray influence, too.

....Especially up on the arse. It's the straight line angular treatment.

I've seen the mk7 concept when doing tech fundermentals at mk and it looks nothing like that from the rear, imo the front looks like the focus a little bit, it's not as boring looking as the mk6 that's for sure

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

This. Ive seen other renderings that make it look like a large current Polo , and I think its quite nice - god knows if thats a true reflection of the real car though!

the new astras do look nice. I though the focus looked quite nice until I had seen the new ST version  :confused:

I do hope the Car Mag photos of the red Gti look like the Mk7, rather than the other pics.

But in my view they never go too radical with Golf evolution do they, VW always tend to do the opposite of Ford and not follow any angular Bangle-esque design.

Makes them boring some say, but possible kind of timeless to look at, I think the only poor Golf shape that has dated is the Mk4.

Anyone like the new Civic, I think it's ruddy terrrible mess to look at.

I like the new Astra - marked improvement over the previous body shape.

With the golf mk7 i think it will be a fairly subtle change as most body shapes have been, the most radical probably being the transition from Mk4 --> mk5. Add to that the hugely homogenised corporate front all Vdubs have now and you'll probably not noticethe mk7 on the road until the 50th one has passed you a whole month after its release  :grin:
