Yes I know it dosn't have a Golf emblem but it's fair because that Astra is a 3 door ... and so is this "3 Door Golf"
And PLEASE I mean PLEASE don't tell me that the Astra look better than this!

Love the colour aswell

Btw did you configure that yourself? Because I just tried then and there only was the GT version with 16" rims

It's not fair to compare Astra GTC (3dr Astra), or eg. Ford Focus 3dr to Scirocco. Such cars should be compared to 3dr Golf.

Scirocco should be compared to new Ford Capri & new Opel Manta - which are heavily rumored to be revived.

I see your point Tine but the only way to get a Golf 3D is the GTI..
And that will look good even if it's the MK VI

Or the Beemer 3er. Nobody can deny it's a very strong seller, despite the price. Does it look boring, old? Nope.

The Golf were very good-looking cars till the bloated V arrived... This is a failure imo, the Golf is clearly stagnating while the competition makes huge progress. The Golf V was a good car but not really that superior than some competitors.

A car cannot sell on its sole reputation forever. They already had to make huge price decreases to sell the V at the beginning, why didn't they get that the Golf should look good? Why designing it in such a hurry?

I understand what you mean but really if you want something stylish then go for the Scirocco. It might cost more (I have no idea?) but it seems to me that the Golf is the utilitarian transport designed for millions of drivers. They don't buy cars because of the way they look on the outside. They buy cars based on brand image, loyalty, drive dynamics, quality interiors, etc. All things in which VW really excels. If you ask the average VW golf V driver or IV driver what they value I'm sure that super hot styling will not be on the list. But what do I know, this segment is just getting popular in the US.

Will we be getting the 1.4t Scirocco over here in the UK?

The value of the dollar has a HUGE impact on the servicing costs of German cars(and other European cars for that matter), because most times the parts need to be shipped out of Europe.
