As much as I hate VW, I have to admit that its a pretty damn good-looking car. By far one of the better designs I've seen lately. It looks very sporty, yet refined. Between this and the Mazda3 I can't tell which new hatch design I like better. Alot of nice design features, such as the integrated turn signals and headlamps, look pretty nice. Also the engine line-up looks pretty amazing. Next GTI's will have either a 2.0t @ 200hp or the 3.2L V6 in the R32 putting out 250hp! Only thing I'm worried about is the price. Looks like the Golf is moving too upmarket, especially the high-end and GTI models. They'll probably break 28k fully loaded.
