2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

[P6GTD]

Autocar’s list of new car intros for 2019 has the TCR scheduled for around 7/19 and the Mk8 in Nov 19 with GTI following in 2020.
Would this explain a lot? Or nothing at all??

It also has a more direct driving rack brought over from the touring car. Upgraded brakes.

Which as the reviews say will make even better. On the track.

All the reviews I saw had the car run on 19" wheels. Put 18" wheels on where you have more sidewall and I think it's a fairer basis to consider for UK road use.

Ah i see you have one as per your profile footer. What’s it like?! 

It's fabulous, really good on track apparently.

So VW UK tweeted the following today:

0-62mph in 5.6 seconds and 162mph optional derestricted top speed. The new Golf GTI TCR is our new GTI performance champion. #VWGTI #GolfGTITCR

Of course, they haven’t replied to confirm whether this means it’s coming to the UK. Incompetent.

I think the organisation is inherited from Germany. They haven't even got it in the German configurator yet. Similar questions and grumbling happening on IG.

It’s been on the German site for a couple of weeks(ish) already.

Correct. Been on the Belgium Configurator for about 2 months and German for about one I think. Pathetic really.

Vw have once again replied to my tweet to say that there’s currently no plans for the tcr to come to the UK. They need to stop tweeting about it then. Useless.

Couldn’t agree more. I was very tempted to leave an ‘interesting’ comment on twitter after their response. Why tweet about a car that isn’t coming?? 

I’ll be ordering my car tomorrow with any luck. The TCR won’t be coming imo.

Ford are as bad not saying if there’s a mk4 focus rs coming out all people will do is buying something else then sales are lost
I’m would buy a TCR or mk4 RS but have no idea if they are coming so will go into used market for CSS or RS3 at this rate

Maybe VW UK read all these forums and do it purposely to stoke the fire and increase interest / demand, like the theory, if there's a queue for an item it must be good.
