VW Scirocco for Australia. Any Golf R buyers thinking of swapping?

How can you compare an Astra to a VW. astra's suck hard man. Not in the same league.

Have you driven it, or are you just a badge snob?

With the new Opel Astra GTC announced the Rocco will have a close competitor when it comes to Oz.

Looks like a Hyundai...

have you seen the interior of that thing? yeh it looks good from outside but inside its all plastic and cheap imitations of ... space shuttle ?

[Corey_R]

lol gawd! The exterior you could, ok, looks "fine". But that interior.... wow! that's just... "spectacular!"

[Ideo]

Looks fine to me.

I'm going to reserve opinion until I drive it.

Seems a bit more of a grown up, less fanboi way of doing things.

[Corey_R]

I disagree. It could drive like a Ferrari for all I care. I couldn't live with that interior, so I've no intention to test drive it...

[Tim]

that interior actually looks more modern than a golf interior. Youre all just being snobs!
VWs are super conservative for super conservative people

Ahh, a fan of the grey/black with matching grey/black with a side of grey/black

So revolutionary and groundbreaking.

They are a well built and easy to use interior. But as boring as a conversation in a retirement village for retired accountants.

[Corey_R]

No - colour has nothing to do with that. One of my favourite interiors are the Ferrari F355 where some owners optioned red carpet, beige seats/partial door trim/underside of dash, red stitching aluminium trim and dark brown (almost black) upper side of dash/upper door trim. But it has style and class.

The Opel's interior is just offensive to the senses imo.

I think we are going to agree to disagree on it then.

If it had an Audi badge I think a lot of people would be supportive of it.

Audi wouldn't do such a crass interior (black on black anyone?)

Whilst I'm sure a lot of people do, I personally don't give a stuff what badge is on something. But it still doesn't change the fact the interior of that opel is crap. Sorry you can't accept that it's got nothing to do with the fact it's an opel.

I personally like Opel, especially the Insignia, and I am also a fan of the new Astra's exterior. The GTC looks very classy and the performance of the VXR version looks promising. I've seen the interior of the new Astra in person and while the material quality isn't as good as the golf, the construction seems solid. I'll definitely give the GTC a test drive when it lands.

[Mr_Bob]

I'm not actually a fan of the audi interior and prefer the VW one.
The vents just kinda look stuck on, like an afterthought, and the bulgy steering wheel centre is uninspiring.
