It actually is a Golf with a wider track.However it sits 3 inches lower then the new GTI. Further it has slightly better handling then the GTI and is a little bit quicker.I personally like the styling over the current and future GTI. The GTI, especially the 09 replacement is very boxy and upright looking. It has the same front end as the Scirroco but does not look nearly a sleek. The Scirroco is more of a hatchback sports car.

If this plan goes through , I'm curious to see if this will fit in, in relation to the the upcoming GTI R (R20T). I'm guessing it would squeeze between the GTI and GTI R20T
