I didn't like how the grill and headlights were stretched out, or the Touareg-style tailights. But the more I see it, the more it's starting to grow on me. The MkVI is starting to look a little slicker than what I originally thought, and all I have to say about the MkVI R32 is the following: "VWoA, please, bring over the 5-door R32, and bring back the 6-speed manual transmission!" It's going to take some getting used to, but I think the new MkVI won't be half-bad. When I first saw the photos on VWVortex, I wasn’t too pleased with the new MkVI design.
