Headlights and taillights remind me of the new A8, I actually think this looks better than the current A4.

Yep. Great car. Love the look of all the new VW's. Especially, bizzarely, the Polo, which is a fantastic looking little car.

I would pit my son's Hyundai Sonata against this car any day.

I agree with this. Granted as a MK4 GLI owner, I am a bit biased. Not to say the new technology isn't nice, but it just isn't nearly as different as the MK4 was from the regular Jetta.
