The "Monza 3's" look fantastic! Love the Mk1 rear window kink too. Wonder if the smoked tail lights will be standard?

Approved!   :happy2:

History will repeat itself in the same manner as every new GTi incarnation, first they'll be the 'I don't like it / not radical enough / I prefer my mk(?) / it's got the same style wheels / you can get a 12 year old Porsche for the same money'

Then will come the road tests and 'real' pics of your local dealers demo, the realisation it looks great in the flesh and on the road and then the inevitable thumbs up from EVO...

The UK's love affair with the 'everyman' hot hatch will then just roll on like it has always done, pausing only for the inevitable 6 month waiting list and moans about the meagre discounts available on a car that practically sells itself...  :smiley:

Front fog grills slats remind me of an R8.

Rear lights remind me of an Alfa the Berrera.

I like the inside, although electronic parking break is gash. Seem to all come with Xenons, MFSWs, Sat Nav etc

I prefer that to the Mk5&6.

I'm intrigued to see what happens with the engine.  I hope they give it around 250hp.  It will be great then i reckon. Plus if it gets a 250hp eengine so wwill the vRS :popcornsoda:

Interested to see what the engine will be.

Are those LED headlights?

Not too different but then I didnt expect it to be.

It will probably be the Audi TSI variant.

Surely not. That would be a 3 generation old engine

What differs internally between that and your 2.0tsi

I like this much more than I liked the mk6 initially, but not love at first sight as it was with the mk5 for me.

I guess it will grow on me and look nice in the flesh.

^^^ Would be expecting more than 220bhp
