blower 1,154 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Well as i began to see on other photo's and confirmed with these much more clearer photo's. This is not a golf, its completely lost its golf shape, it looks more like a cross between a Passat and an Arteon. The long wheel base has killed the shape. It looks closer to a saloon than the iconic Golf shaped hatchback that's defined nearly every other hatchback. Just look at that massive front end, it overhangs more, the bonnet is longer and appears to bulge up as its been pulled down so far. The rear overhangs the back a bit more too. This thing is going to struggle to fit in some garages and parking spaces! It's not a golf, the golf is dead Also whose idea was it to put that pearl necklace on the rear!

JonSW 335 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Rear quarters from side on is a Golf, the rest is Astra/[insert name of Korean car you never look twice at here]. I thought by the third photo that the driver was going to dump it in the ditch in embarrassment! The front is just gopping 🤮 blower and webbmeister 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raiden 1,270 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 From the back it looks a bit like a 1 series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samx300 265 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I do observe hints of BMW, Jag and Subaru from various angles. Maybe the design grows on people but from first impressions, its' not as iconic as we've come to expect the Golf redesigns. Certainly not as striking as the change from a Mk6 to a Mk7.

blower 1,154 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Since the Mk5 you have seen an evolution....it got a little bit bigger on the mk7 but lost none of it's iconic shape. Based on the new direction, the Mk9 will look like this! Booth11, Deelo, Testuser9 and 15 others 4 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the OP title with half an eye on the photos, and immediately thought "wot's he on about? that's an Astra with a VW badge on", thinking it some sort of photoshop un-serious post. blower 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyT 1,123 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 not keen on the front, will wait to see it in the metal. Looks very 1 series with a long stupid face Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jon-Paul 977 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 It looks like a Vel-Satis ! An odd looking carbuncle of a car owned mainly by history teachers and heavily bearded people with terrible eye-sight and cluttered homes.
