You've just seen a MK5 GTi?

How u know it was a GTI? did i have the badges and alloys on??

unusual for them to go testing it with badges and alloys.. they normally cover everything up...

I also saw one yesterday on the M6

It was a German plate - dark blue colour

Have to say does not look nice - but it could be a grower  ;D

Sure it wsn't the FSi? This is the model thats doing the rounds with all the journalists at the mo

The GTi hasn't been launched anywhere yet, not even at a motor show - its world debut is due at the Paris motor show next year - the concept GTi was only previewed about three months ago!

Yep it was a GTI not an FSI, we are spoilt round here, got ASston Martins in our town, the vanquish was doing the rounds well before its launch. My mate thought it was pants, too big.
