The Fahrenheit GTI introduces a unique, energetic exterior color -- Fahrenheit orange -- to this sporty, high performance hatchback.

IMO the Fahrenheit GTI & GLI look hideous with black grill & yellow/orange colours, VW should have put chrome instead like the Golf speed editions VW did for Europe

The Triple White Cabrio is very nice & looks expensive
