Glad they steered away from the 80's renault look.

That's really interesting. Looks like they toyed with the idea of having the door handles flush in the rear quarters.

Some great shots from the factory there.

A very interesting read, horrible looking saxo type door handles on the prototype but at least they would have worked!

That cabrio is so much nicer than the golf cabrio I just went to look at while picking up spares yesterday. So more refined.

 

Cheers,

Redfox.

One of the best coupes ever.

A future classic.

 

Plus there's something some where about VW back in the early 1980s had made a 1.6 twin cam engine,

that produced more power than the KR and 9a engines, but never went in to production.

 

some of the best video's I've seen.
