I think there should be a new "style" added to the list, Finn. I have seen so many cars from Finland that look so clean and understated, but still tough and bada$$ed at the same time.
Nice work Ville!

Looks sophisticated but sporty. Nice choices. What previous generation VW(s) have you owned, and what do you miss from them and like better in the V? How do you like the TDI?

Youre right. Just for some silly reason, the first thought that comes to mind when I see a Golf V (not necessarily this Golf) is Civic Si. I guess its just a fluke. 
No disrespect to Ville's sweet ride.
