      2020 Volkswagen Golf Mk8 Photographed Virtually Undisguised From All Angles | Carscoops

      I think we are getting very close now, but I think after seeing these pics I am a little less excited ...

      Thoughts anyone ?

        Nice find. I like the wheel design.

          Noticed the headlights extend deeper into the guard covered by tape and fake bumper joint on the green car also fake rear reflectors and tape below the rear window and taillights, also the chrome strip lower grill near badge looks fake. Rear light lenses have some additional camouflage will be finer than shown.

            The front and rear bumpers do not look like the production versions, they look incomplete, and the strategy of disguise by using body coloured taping around a few key features only, iwould think suggests that this is also a a bit of an exercise to gauge interest/reaction to concepts of the new golf design.
            I would hazard a guess that the final front grill may well be larger and form into the headlights, but maybe not

              Agree with your assessment. That grille opening will be very slim. Not sure how the lower intake will look though but the basic outline is there.

                        Interesting idea - but if it was priced similar to an RS3 - I'd umm, buy an RS3.

                        The five cylinder sound was worth the coin.

                          Exactly my thinking, Dutch.

                          It's a little bit like the Arteon in my head, priced similarly to an Audi A4. VW forget that people shopping in that bracket are likely going to not even consider a VW, let alone one priced close to the RS3 5pot.

                            At least the Arteon has a bit of presence, whereas perhaps the A4 is a bit conservative (clean and crisp that way I like it, but who is buying base sedans anymore?) but yes, precisely.

                            Ramping up the power just turns the acceleration into all a bit of a blur and appendage swinging contest.. I'd rather an old school 4.5 second RS4 V8 than a 4.0 second R+ / AMG45. The five cylinder RS3 was another matter.

                                In line with the earlier feed then.

                                Evolution of the existing shape with the look debuted on the Polo appearing up front.

                                Now cue the 'my mark <1/2/3/4/5/6/7/7.5> looks way better than this' thread.
