Mark 8 GTI isn't as horrifying up close as I imagined.
The fog lights and wheels are of course, awful, but otherwise it looks pretty good up close(I'm being tortured at the dealership.) The exhaust tips are bigger than the mk.7 too so the rear looks pretty cool.
Other topic: For reference I consider $2.99 to be an acceptable price for a store brand dozen eggs.
Saw a grey one yesterday. At first I didn't like the similarities to the new Corolla, but it actually grew on me overtime so I'm all for the MK8. I reckon I'll buy one someday in the near future.
