2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

Seems odd to have an ed40 CS and tcr in the same generation.

CS was a Mk7 runout, pretty much like the other special editions were.

TCR makes sense only insofar as a Mk7.5 runout.

I still think there's a chance of a last gasp heavily option freebie'd Mk7.5 GTI - emptying those part bins/contracts to encourage purchases of Mk7.5's once the date of the arrival of the Mk8 is very clear (to prevent a sales slump - who'd want an old model when the new one is almost here?)... so perhaps April?

Depending on how the 8 looks and what it's got standard kit wise then a runout 7.5 might be ideal.

It could be, but on the other hand buying one a couple of months before the Mk8 rolls into town will see your depreciation sky rocket.

Just depends on how you look at your cars I guess, personally I have a car for a few years and the total cost of ownership is important to me - so a massive drop off in resale value is a big thing for me. Far more than getting a few options chucked in.

Its irrelevant to me in this case though, I have my current Mk7.5 until July 2020.

I'm in that dilemma Fred. I'm supposed to have mine for another two years which might fall in nicely with mk8 GTi or R or I could chop in early for a 7.5 GTi.

My S3 deal ends in October 2019. Won’t be far enough down the line for a mk8 but falls right in the run out model phase so looking to change earlier. I’ll keep this one for around 5 yrs as I don’t think pcp really works anymore. Therefore the TCR would hit the spot.

This week’s Autocar has the TCR being available in August 2019.

Just had a quick flick through Autocar but couldn’t see any TCR info. New issue?

I don’t think it’ll come to the UK. Far too quiet here about it.

Encouraging to see the German spec TCR comes with the 18" Belvedere wheels as fitted to the Clubsport Ed40. Good that VW are still producing them.

If I were to modify my PP. a set of Belvedere's and a Clubsport S back box is all I would need!

Quite like the new Reifnitz wheel too.

I recognise them but can’t place them. Have audi used them??
