Yes the Mk5 production has seized, only a couple of models are available, and also confimed Major delay on Mfd3 sat navs!. Once Availabilty is back up and running then, he said prices will fall once their isnt this shortage and why the demand such a high price brought independantly from places like ebay etc.

Good work Phil!

I like the new one but would def have the GTI-R, don't feel theres enough improvement with the standard 211PS machine. Not yet sure about the new grill, seems there isn't enough space between the top and bottom of the red piping, unless they do what they did in the mk5 and have it at just the bottom of the grill, otherwise it looks too close together!?

Talking of the new 2.0Ltr TSI engine, Audi have it in the new A4.
Very good spec's
211 PS (4300 - 6000rpm)
350 Nm
155 Mph top speed
6.9 Sec's 0-60
For a car that weighs 1435Kg's
31.4 mpg Urban on 95 RON petrol
and best of all  154g/km emmission
puts that in band G £150....

Confirmed as a K03 turbo

Not bad at all IMO....

If its out in January I think i will wait at least 6month myself after launch and let the enthusiastc idiots pay list and iron out any design faults. This also gets winter over with. Then when the GTI-R is nearer its launch and demand for the GTI falls it will give me a better chance of getting a deal on a new or slightly used one.  :evil:
