I think without the Smokey eye it might look like Asian eyes. Kinda like a light color IS with the split led in the bumper? The contrast becomes very obvious with light colored cars.

Seems like Volkswagen is taking the same approach they are with Porsche, don't change much but make the headlights look different

You sure that smokey eyes / eye liner thing isn't camo? The magazines I read says there are still light camo on the front and back ends, but I can't tell from the pictures what is camo and what isn't.

If you zoom in you can see the headlights actually go into the fender a bit more, I'm sure the top and the bottom part that's darkened is just camo

Personally, I like 2015 or newer Mk 7.
Those wheels on the Mark 8 are hideous.

it's not camo unless there's some crazy never seen before DRL tech
why would they bother camo'ing 1x10" and leave the rest of the car exposed?

I think VW absolutely nailed it on the mk7 and mk7.5 especially with the 7.5 gti. Perfect balance in all elements.
This mk8 looks to have too much chrome on the front end and weird creases/bulges on the hood. I don't know, could grow on me. But those wheels tho lol

This Mk8 car seems to have a taller greenhouse / lower shoulder line than the Mk7 cars. I didn't particularly enjoy the visibility from the driver seat in the Mk7 cars.
But that can't be confirmed until I've actually sit in the car...

Excited to see what it will exactly look like. The new Jetta is pretty disappointing especially the rear end  | |

I personally think it'll looks closer to this without the black parts

It seems to come standard with GTI Autobahn equipment at ~$31k, while a Golf GTI Autobahn is closer to ~$36k.

GLI is a lot better than the base for sure. I wonder if they sell well. We barely sell any Civic SI sedans.
