If that woulda been out last December I woulda really looked at one and maybe bought. I just dont like the GTI's right now very much.

[simplyblurredmrT]

I love the front.......but the back looks like a Mazda 3. IMO.

[The Ren]

the interior cloth is hideous..but it looks sessi otherwise..

[Kevykev]

Has a lot of potential. Interiort reminds me of Scotland.

I assume the lighting will be D2S HID?

[Scrappy]

hey adam gotta a prob with mazda 3??? punk ;) lol but i like it... grill could use some work but would look good modded

[4dmin]

[alpinestar4life7]

actually i really like it.. but it looks like an Si to me a little.

[drupason]

they arent bad

[Spyder]

It looks like an SI , which is gross. the seats look like they would be supportive but they also look like shit in cloth, as most seats do. Im sure that it has the same potental as the 1.8T so im my book its a great car :)

that makes it look like the si, i think its the front end they have on it.

looks better stock, never said that before...

[B16a2 Civic]

i liek it...i always liked em....so simple to to keep it clean unlike other cars

[civic95]

Looks pretty good. Something about the headlights looks funny though. Interior would look better without the plaid seats. Sounds pretty quick too

[4dmin]

i haven't seen one in person yet but it wouldn't think the plaid interior would be making a comeback here in the states :D ,but either way those factory recaros are PIMP

[drupason]

how much they gonna be goin for?

[4dmin]

20-25k i think

[Salty12]

I like it.. same plat-form as the A3, right?

[4dmin]

i'm sure its similar VW uses the same shit in just about every ride

[Jaimecbr900]

The front has got to go. Too "in your face" IMO. The seats look really cool, cloth not so hot but I've seen worse. The instrumentation reminds me of the Passat's, which isn't bad IMO.

The front is the biggest turn-off to me honestly. The rest is fine.

Personally, I like this kind of VW the best:

Got it bubba, but I'm just saying that I like that look better than the Mark V.

BTW, I TIVO "Tuner Challenge" on Speed and one of the cars that the teams is modding is a Mark V. The other two are a Skyline :eek: and a Cobalt. It's actually a pretty cool show because they aren't doing just ricey crap to the cars.

wouldn't life just suck to be the guy working on the cobalt when the guys next to you are working on a skyline. or even the Mark V GTI

NO! But we can Wrestle about it if you want ;) LOLOLOLOLOL! You need to come out to a meeting sometime. PM Me so I don't HIJACK Paul's Thread.
Sorry paul :)

[Spyder]

no,no,no.... read the post you made , number 22 in this thread. you even quoted him as saying they were doing a build up on the MKV then you pondered the potental numbers of an MKIV ;)

[4dmin]

sorry not following, i was stating i would like to see the #s of the mk4, then i asked if it was a 1.8t it could of been a vr6 that wasn't stated in the post

[Jaimecbr900]

Paul- The motor is a 1.8t. The car started out identical to the one you posted in the first post. They too thought the front nose was not too cool. They did this custom mesh/grill thing. I didn't think it was so hot, but it was better than stock. They also added a body kit and did some kind of headlight mod on the last show. They haven't really dove into the motor/performance side of things just yet.

The show is a competition between three different teams from across the country. It kinda highlights how each team super mods each car with the idea that when all are done they will put them up against each other head-to-head. They are supposed to compete in raw HP numbers, interior, and exterior. The freaking Cobalt has a cage and is being painted from the frame up. Chevy supplied them with a raw shell (totally unpainted) to start with. XS Engineering is doing the Skyline (which is TT BTW ;) ) and Team Chevy is doing the Cobalt of course, but I forget what the name of the guys doing the VW.

sounds cool, when does this generally come on?

He's talking about the MK4 that I posted, the gray one. ;)

To be honest Paul, I don't remember if his was a VR6 or not. I know his instrument cluster was European style with a KM/H Speedo and all. The fenders were true widebody molded and not just rolled too. The car was pimp IMO. :bowdown:

that is where i got lost, in the build up they are using a MK5 in the post you also had pictures of a MK4. i thought he was asking about the MK5 in the build up not the MK4 in the pictures. oops... :)

[4dmin]

my bad i read it wrong, i thought jamie posted it was a mark4 in the show :D :lmfao:

[HEATON]

Yea thats the German version. Ive seen several here on the streets...Weird thing bout any Euro cars is Reverse is the first gear so you get a lil surprise the first time you drive one if you dont pay close attention.
