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...
