Why the looks of the new VW aren\'t THAT important

Revolutionary ESP with steering intervention as of 2005, first of all in the Golf
New generation of ESP helps the driver to countersteer specifically
From mid-2005 onwards, Volkswagen will be launching a new generation of ESP for the Golf and other models with targeted power-assisted steering. Depending on the situation, the electronic stabilisation program sends impulses to the steering that cause the driver to move intuitively to countersteer correctly. In this way, ESP + driving recommendation contributes to reducing the braking distance by up to 10%, in particular on roads with different coefficients of friction (for example dry on the left, wet or snow-covered on the right).
The new system configured in this way can be used exclusively in conjunction with vehicles which - like the new Golf - have electromechanical power steering or another active steering system. This is why Volkswagen decided at a very early stage to launch the Golf onto the market with an "active" steering system as standard.
New ESP provides impulses for thinking and steering: the actual decisions remain fully within the authority of the driver
