Gutted....I will be at the lights, having only just had my MK6 for a few months, and some g1t will pulll up next to me in a Mk7 with 230BHP and 260 Lb/Ft...
There will also be a new Audi-developed top-end hi-fi/nav/connectivity system that uses an eight-inch capacitive touchscreen - as per an iPad - for far more accurate control and higher definition. It also has a proximity sensor, so it can show an uncluttered map, say, but when your finger gets close it'll switch to showing buttons.
I've just got myself geared up to trade in my GTI for an R [even though I'm aware of the unveiling of the MK7 Golf in March with orders being taken from October]Problem is the MK7 R probably won't be available until sometime in 2013 and I don't want to wait that long [I want to trade in my GTI whilst the residual value is still reasonable, otherwise I'll have to save faster to keep up with the depreciation]Can anyone tell me how much a dealer has to play with on the price of a new R?

I'll be getting rid of my MK6 a year before the MK7 GTI comes out, the prices of the MK6 are going to tumble so fast when people can actualy buy the MK7.Not sure what I'll get, I was thinking about a MK6 R but that will depreciation issues.Jim

Really? I haven't heard anything mentioned about the R release dates, I know in the past the VAG group has done it this way for all we know the whole range could come out around the same time.Either way though the R prices will also drop like a stone when a faster, lighter, new shape R comes out.
