A dealer told me today that they don't expect a performance golf until 2021. Make of that what you will.

The same dealer currently trying to sell you a performance Golf?! I don't think I've ever believed anything I heard from a dealer, especially anyone in the sales department. But I would think GTI sometime by the middle to end of 2020 is likely.

It wasn’t actually someone I was buying from. Just thought I’d share.

Ah dear..... Lets hope they can make the GTI look better as that does look a bit sh*te and very Astra-eque...  :rolleyes:

Well i'm going to reserve judgement until I see it presented the way VW intended, rather than the presentation of someone hiding in a bush.

If you look carefully at the first two pictures posted by kmpowell, it looks as if the headlights are taped up to disguise them - remove the tape, and they sweep back almost into the wheel arch edge; very un-Golf like!

It also looks as if the rear bumper reflectors are red tape and the actual reflectors will ‘sit’ in the recessed sections above the red tape. Discussions on other forums suggest the rear lights have also been taped up and if the tape’s removed, they’d be a ‘stepped’ design like the T-Roc rear lights.
