I'm glad they went back to the Mk4 design BUT it still doesnt looks as good. The Mk4 was the best design.

- Front looks good, not sure about the way the headlights and hood meet.
- Rear looks weird for some reason. I'm glad they didnt put huge silly lights on it and I like the creases and bodywork to stop it looking bland. I dunno, overall the car looks girly!
- Side profile is a little too rounded and reminds me of the Audi A1 concept:

Guys I'm so daft. I knew it looked very small and I was confused. This is actually a smaller model used in South America:

Looks quite good in that case.

Thank god. you had me worried there when you started talking about the MK4. This would have been a huge step back if it was the replacement for the Golf.

Why is it called a GOL? Is it only 3/4 of a GOLF?
