Looks nice to me, but agree with the fins. It'll be interesting to see initial pricing, i got a a250 sport quote today for 57K base model. for that money you could have a pretty spec'd up GTI I hope.

Golf GTI Revealed
Now for my designer's opinion.
Outside = Yawn. At least the Mk5 and 6 had a touch of an agressive flavour over the regular Golf models. While different, this just looks, well, boring. Fins and flutes should have remained on 1980's supercars.
The interior looks like a regression in design. The mk6 interior I would argue looks more modern and cohesive than this model.
The front looks like a hippo has squashed it and the angularity of the DLO doesn't match in with the overall bubble-like shape.
but hey, that's just me

9kg is probably the weight saving from cutting out half of the spoke from the detroit's to get the new wheel design.Originally Posted by Marcotto

I sat in a 1.4T Sport model yesterday and there's an instant familiarity to the cockpit. And I don't think that it seems a regression. The build quality looks better than my Tiguan 155TSI and I love the bigger satnav screen.
All in all, it feels a step up in class in the cabin.
It isn't as avantgarde as the Merc A Class but I think that's the appeal of the Golf.

Could it be the addition of the mechanical LSD that's rumored to be included in the GTI?

No rumour, mech LSD is in the Performance version.

But will we get it or do we get stuck with the old tech; ala kessy, folding mirrors, colour mfd etc

A locking differential is not the same as limited slip, besides, the weight difference between an open and LSD or locking diff would be negligible.
