« on: February 09, 2013, 12:28:14 am »
i dont like it, its not as pretty on the outside as its predecessor! IMO anyway, i dont like how they've put very square grills in the front bumper i dont think it looks right

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

Had to google it. The front very much reminds me of the focus st.

TBH although I love angular styling eg Aventador, I'm not a fan of the way the new VAG range looks. Very homogenised.

TBH although I love angular styling eg Aventador, I'm not a fan of the way the new VAG range looks. Very homogenised.

Tends to be how most manufacturers are building their cars today, everything is a slight variation on the same theme - a bit bigger, a bit smaller, hatchback version, elephantised to SUV or worse still those cross SUV/Car things  :sick: where they are neither one or the other and leave you scratching your head as to why anyone in their tiny little mind would waste money on one and whether they realise how absurd they look.

Undoubtedly from a business point it makes sense to keep your assembly costs down but as a fan of cars and their aesthetics it makes the modern age of automotives a comparatively dull place to be.

At the risk of saying "when i was a lad", back in the day there was a bit more variety within a badge's range and i liked it  :laugh:

I went to a dealer preview of a LHD 'FR' that was doing a dealer tour, the interior is a huge improvement over the mk2 Leon and is very golf like in it's look and feel..
LED headlight option looks stunning in the flesh too  :happy2:
