Some thoughts about the Mk II . . .
If it had no predecessor, we would be all over it. It's really an excellent update, it looks sleeker and more aggressive, although less sensuous. From what has been said, it drives better than even a modded Mk I. It doesn't have that carved-from-a-block look of our cars. It's not as beautiful a thing. It doesn't have the distinction of creating and being a design icon. It will go more mainstream this time. Most of us will often be smoked by one of them when the new engines are out. I just bought out my lease. I still smile nearly everytime I get into this car, especially on bad days. Even though we do what it takes to own it, we're still all very lucky to be driving one. We'll all enjoy the Mk II, after the grumbling's done (and the turbo 5 is out). Some of us will keep our Mk I - for some it'll be the start of a car collection. I M H O

I like the idea of a collection...I want to get a sickly coupe first then maybe consider an MKII in
the future depending on initial impressions a couple years after the release. They should be cheap by then.

I can give you some insight....
I drove one yesterday. I was pretty nice.. I wasn?t impressed with the brakes or the gear box. I thought they might change out the tranny..
I was impressed by the way it handled.. more like a modded suspension than stock.
The cockpit is nice too.. but not the same as the MK1..
Overall.. I like it more than I did when I just saw pics.. but not enough to run out and buy one anytime soon..
Ohh btw the test drive was in Weisbaden Germany....
