^^^ Test drove one the other day, an auto sadly. The steering is soooo much lighter than the previous model, but I could barely see out of the thing - hugely lacking in the glass department.

haha pretty much exactly how i felt driving it. I left my number and told the dealer to call me if they get in a manual I can test drive, interested to see how the 6-speed compares to our 5-speeds.

The manual is so much better in the 2G and I would take that front end over our tC any day.

Yea I really think they dropped the ball on the rear end.

And for posterity (who was it that said Flint Mica looks really nice with a bit of rain? They were right.):

No more low, I'm fat that is how I get it low.

I have no clue what grill it is, all I know is I had to remove the stock one to make it work.
