Bog Standard:

Type R:
According to the blurb I've seen the engine is being uprated from 2.0 201hp to 2.4 ~250hp.
17's are standard, 18's optional. Whether the extra power is to cover any extra weight is anyones guess at the minute.
Personally i think the bog standard model is third world ugly, especially the back. The TR is a little less repulsive, the exhaust fitting into the rear bumper looks good, and the lights are much nicer, but i still prefer the current model although there is still time for them to sort it in the next 18 months
Think I'd rather have a Golf GTI if thats what it ends up looking like, anyone else?
