Even though I semi-like the mark four style and the mark V looks even nicer, for some reason they remind me of a mini station wagon.

And from what I can see on the back it looks like a horrible excuse for a spoiler. From what I can see of the back, it looks riced out.

That's not the production GTI, it's a standard Golf V with an aftermarket body kit. The GTI hasn't been released yet, even in europe. Here is the VW concept GTI which should be more or less identical to production:

civic. haaaaa you would be peeeing in your pants when my brother 1.8T GTI passed my EVO and my friend STI till 50 miles. he was 3 cars ahead of us. when we passed him on high speed (over 40 or 50 )he was about 2 to 3 cars behind us. I bought 4 of them never had problems with them. The best one was my 92 16V that was doing 0 to 60 in 7 sec haaaaaa with 100000 miles on ode and still firing like first day.
