So a rebodied golf for people who want to look cool.

The golf is already massively overrated for what it is. To then rebody it so that people who want form over function can then show it off to their "friends" means you actually have a rubbish car that is the exact opposite of what Ferdinand Porsche was going for (a practical car and affordable car to get the masses moving and make Germany glorious again). This is a car for people who want people on facebook to like them.

85%? I don't think I will be rushing out to buy one.

Wait. People buy these? I always assumed that they were a court mandated punishment for traffic offences.
