And another thing about the leather - in the mk6 you get contrast stitching on the steering wheel and gear knob but the seats are just plain black.In the Scirocco R Line you get a bit of contrast stitching and it livens it up no end.I don't dislike the leather, in fact I quite like it but I wouldn't pay £1700 for it.
I think the Mk7 leather does have red stitching. I've seen it in the photos, I'm 99% sure.The Mark VII GTI does indeed have red stitching if you specify leather :http://www.ausmotive.com/pics/2012/VW-Golf-VII-GTI-Paris-11.jpg
