Golf-based coupe was a fitting revival for the classic nameplate, and an even better used buy

Just to get this straight,

Just to get this straight, the R-Line merely offers a package of styling upgrades over the standard models, and the GTS offers a range of styling upgrades over the R-Line.... I wonder if they'll introduce a new model which offers a package of styling upgrades over the GTS?

Stunning alloys

I know VW fans will kill me for saying this but I'll say it anyway. From the front it looks like a Golf with aggression issues and a stripe on the bonnet. From the side it looks like a mangled Golf. From the rear it looks like a three-door Golf GTI or GTD. New Golf GT's interior/steering/switchgear is far better looking than Scirocco GTS. Seats however are spot on. Bespoke alloys are striking and the best looking part of this car. Hope they fit these on the upcoming Golf GTI.
