The top of the pile to begin with will be a GT/Sport with a 150PS 2.0 CR TDI. As well as performing slightly better than the current 140PS, it will only cost £20 to tax.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I'm sure now we've seen confirmed pics of the GTI peeps will sit and wait for that, then there be threads popping up all over the place saying "look what I've ordered"....

Time for a mk7 section mods!!

I could be tempted if I got a killer deal but will wait to see what the cost of the GTI with sport pack (assuming we get that option in the UK) runs to with essential extras as I reckon the spec won't be great as standard. And I want to see what the Leon mk3 comes out like too as I think it is prettier than the Golf but unsure of the interior.
I must be a car dealers dream as every 12 months I get itchy feet, spend 6 to 9 months working on decent deals and back round in a circle again!! VW you owe me big time!! Maybe it's time I grew up and turned to wine, women and playing the worlds most boring sport (golf)...  :laugh:

Just picked up my GiT from local dealer after some minor works and spoke to the sales guys there. They said that they have now stopped taking orders for all Mk6's (incl. GTi/R etc) and they are due to go over to view and test the Mk7 models next week, which should be available for sale in Nov/Dec. They estimate that the GTi/R etc versions would be available in a years time (approx).
They have had no orders in just yet neither. They are unanimous, however, stating that the exterior styling is very similar to the Mk6, so this may put some people off.....

My dealer says order books open (for normal models) in November.

You have to give VW-UK time to mess around with S-SE-Match-GT configs.
Now = 2011 MK6 GTI - Reflex Silver
Past = 2006 MK5 GTI - Tornado Red and Solid Black

I'll be waiting for the GTD 4 motion...anyone know if my winter wheels and VW roof bars will fit a Mk7?!?!

Though by then I may need to get the long wheelbase golf known as a Passat Estate.

GTI is looking good on autocar so far.... http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/2013-volkswagen-golf

why do they release it in France anyway...is it because it rivals the 308 GTI?!?!?!

The roof bars won't fit, not sure on the wheels yet as it has a wider track than the mk6 so may use the lower offset of the Scirocco/Passat
