SOme launched last week but lots are doing it tonight.

I'm covering the Basingstoke Dealer launch for TorqueVW.com tonight. I'll post a link up to the pics and write up when it goes live hopefully early next week.

Well, I went along last night and it was pretty good! They had some food out and everyone was really chatty!

Got given the new brochure too... on a usb stick :grin: Pretty clever I thought especially with all this recycling no waste stuff :smiley:

Overall, I like the mk6, nice and clean design IMO. There was a woman from the MK1 owners club who worked there taking pics of the cars that turned up too :smiley:

Sweet! Funny how the show room looks pretty much the same (no pics im affraid) as my one! Same floor pattern!

There was a mint Mk2 in our one, it had mirror like paint! Spoke to the guy for ages too and its been 3 and a half years sinse the re-spray and he uses it daily! (Also cleans it daily judging by what his friend was saying!)

All dealers I have been in look the same (apart from building layout obviusly), must a generic design that they must follow.

This Mk2 got more attention from the Golf lovers than the Mk6 did...

We had ours in Bath on Jan 6th. Similar layout with the Mk1 - Mk5 outside so as you walked up to the showroom you walked past the cars. It was a good evening and well turned out. A lot better than when the Mk5 was launched!
