Don't like feminine rear ends, hey, Mike? Something you want to tell us?

No, please don't tell us.

Also, where does A5 Golf and Jetta go on the list? I would put this Golf
way higher than the Jetta which looks like a dam Toyota.

if you have ever owned a Corrado.. it has to be higher than 4th

timeless lines...

i still excited when i see a picture, or one in person

owning a Corrado is to appreciate VW form

my 2 cents canadian

I don't think anyone is ever going to agree on this list... personally I
think the original Scirocco is possibly the best looking VW ever... one
of Giugiaro's better designs, not too extreme but tight and classy at
the same time.

Personally I think the KG is 2nd and Corrado maybe 3rd... the form has
promise but a lot of its lines are ripped off from the old Studebaker
Avanti and honestly IMHO Loewy did it better. Those are probably the
only three VWs that I truly DROOL over although I do have a soft spot
for Mk2 Sciroccos having driven one for years. I miss that car sometimes...

I really don't get the evolution of the Golf/Jetta platform. I dunno
whether I like A1s or A2s better, it depends on the day, but each
iteration following has been less appealing to me than the one before
(OK, I like the A4 just because it had the ultra-badass 1.8T in it, but
other than that I can leave 'em all, A5 included. The 1.8T really
belongs in a Mk1 Scirocco anyway <G>)

I hope I didn't annoy too many people. But it was a thing of beauty.

About the Audi's - I agree, they are the best looking sedans on the road
right now (A6 gets my top marks).

Very nice!

That's why this one is in the best looking group.
