Is the wing bowed or is that an optical illusion? Not liking that at all.

I'm not feeling the changes. I like the current front end better.

Can't say I was expecting it to look leaps and bounds different. The NEWS will be it's confirmed DFI power plant.

The mkI looks much better! I can't explain it but the new one just looks to have some vw new beetle influence.

I like it... prefer the "full size" rs wing
make mine lapis blue with 6speed and no options except full leather and xenons...
I will take standard lugs/studs over center lock bling
no sunroof
DFI and 450 hp please, dry sump it while you are at it
clubsport package in USA -- just dreaming...

They are obviously going for better Aero, which I am for 100%. However, I don't know why they decided to do a higher downforce narrow wing instead of just doing a wide RS wing.
