New pics - Golf 6 GTI

From the UK Car magazine website, www.carmagazine.co.uk are new shots of the GTI VI in testing. Looks kinda plain, but I still want one.

You're right.

And I bet you all the dealers here will put that retarded number plate mount on ALL of them.

Ohhh I hope they don't...

Someone should point the dealers to this forum so they can take a poll on options for the new MkVI hehehe.

I don't see anything exciting enough about the new model to make me want to trade the GT in on one. Besides the fact they haven't even brought out a replacement model yet anyway, sorry but I prefer my MK V.

Rumour is Russ is that they are resurrecting the GTD and it will be a twin sequential turbo.

But it will be de-tuned to not out-do the GTI of course...

Yeah I heard that, I still wouldn't race out and buy one though, besides the amount of money you would lose in depreciation, I personally prefer the look of the MK V anyway, and IMO these things go so well, I can't see the point in changing too much about them.

I'm "as happy as" with mine anyway and that's all that matters to me

I'm not really a fan of those foglights.
That picture looks like it is from the US, hopefully we will get a different bumper with the number plate recess like the current Golf. The black mount looks silly, at least it fits in with the black grille on the Mk V GTI.

Overall I still prefer the verticle/Audi style grille (GTI Mk V/R32/Jetta/Passat etc) over the horizontal style of the GTI Mk VI.

On a Mk V I'd take Euro plates (still haven't got around to ordering mine...) however I think I'd put slimlines on a Mk VI.

Looking very Toyota to me.....

And Russ a sequential turbo would have no lag, anywhere. Still, like you I prefer the MKV look at this early stage....

Perhaps a transplant down the track!
