Winner in Oz

That would sell well here (epacially in diesel ) Not keen on the chrome around the side windows.

tail almost like Touareg/Cayenne, too

I agree and sell as as a Jetta Wagon or else buyers will get confused with th fronts

tail almost like Touareg/Cayenne, too

Porsche influence on family wagon could be used as a selling point lol

I actually like the design now the RL pics show the lines better

I reckon the Variant looks great, but after such a limited range with the Mk4s I am currently astounded at the number of options available in the Mk5 range. I spose another one won't hurt.

We may even get more derivatives lol

If the MPV market picks up the Touran would fit well here

Perhaps the Touran would be better to bring in than the wagon???????

[Lima]

Do we still get the Zafira?

Actually the Ford MPV, C-Max, or whatever it's called, with the Focus XR5 engine in it could be good.

No the only small MPVs here are the Caddy Life, Citroen Picaso & Renault Scenic.

The 7 seat Touran doesn't have a spare wheel. That pretty much rules it out for Australia...

VW Golf Estate

I have to admit, even though I am not the biggest fan of some recent VW styling, the estate looks absolutely stunning ! Wonder what the other changes compared to the Golf sedan will be ...

I like the Mk III & IV better. They are styled more like wagons, not a family fastback.

I think that it is long overdue, but I still prefer the normal tail lights of the MkV over those in the first picture.

Now VW just need to give it the R5 engine and 4Motion - SWEEEEEET

Bugger, asked a few dealers about when/if and they all said no way . Gone with the Caddy now (wonder why they don't offer the 2.0TDI as an option in the Caddy )
