I don't know about looking sporty but the last thing I'd buy is a tipo...

Anyway, glad to hear the mk8 gti is finally getting closer. I'm definitely going to put a spec together and look at the price.

I want it to be right, but suspect I'm about to be disappointed.

My brother is planning to order as soon as the books open so I’ll get to have a good go and see what it’s really like. Should be interesting.

Cue loads of confusion about what comes as standard and lead times running into months rather than weeks.

Should be interesting though...

Excellent news, hours of fun (and frustration) on the VW configurator, await.

Yes, the UK base spec is going to be baffling for some time...

And the delivery times definitely will be in 2021 - Evo1986 said that on here before but thats no shock - we always reckon on 4-6 months for a Mk7...

I think Vw will nail the spec from the start. It’ll be clearly stated what you get and the process will be seamless.  :grin:
