Nothing is confirmed yet, the new Golf will be revealed September 4th. This is one more of those renderings
Yup. Looks a little too much like the Mazda 3.

There are a number of renderings going around.
I tend to believe that this one may have the hood and headlight contours more correct than some of the other renderings.
I say that based on the image of the moc up sans headlights that we've seen - the headlight cut outs look long and angled on that model, not squared off or boxy. (Of course that is provided that moc up is close to the production car.)
Also because the heavily camoflaged images show quite a strong contour along the hood from the windshield towards the nose - a strong fender contour as well.
The cammo covered models also show a strong crease running along the body sides - under the door handles begining at the trailing edge of the front fenders, and continuing all the way to the rear fenders.
I haven't seen a rendering that shows that crease.
We'll have to see, the cars are so covered up.
I do hope for a slightly more agressive look like the one above, over a more Jetta-ized version.

Yeah, but every formally boxy make - BMW, Audi, Mercedes - has added a lot more aggressive contour of late.
Let's try to forget BMWs hideous new edge period though. :yikes:
I personally would like to see the MKVI design that we have taken to a slightly more rakish look like we see in this rendering.
I don't want the car going back to being more conservative and boxy.
I don't want an overdone swoopy mess of course - but that obviously isn't what's hidden unede the cammo.

Really? The MKV is full of curves and circles. I don't think there is a straight line or right angle on the car.

I agree with you, I just think that the teaser image posted (whether accurate or not) just looks too similar to the Mazda3 for my taste. I guess I'm just getting more and more biased toward the MK6 look. :iono:
Well, I'm not a fan of the MKV to begin with, so I guess I'll just leave that one out of the "boxier" image in my mind.

this may be the ass shot of that fron end.... believeable??

here's a quick look possible front/rear then....
and I agree -- kind not diggin' that fron end, does look a bit "panamera-ish"...looks like they borrowed heavy off the "Q5" on the rear....
