waiting for the gti-r

Same here. And its going to be remapped  :smug:

And the point of GTI-R? There is already S3. New GTI-R will cost like R32 and the diff to S3 will be covered by the brand name and a better build quality of S3 (VW improves, but Audi does not stay on place either).

S3 is Audi, GTi r will be VW !!???

Why say its slower than a mk5 GTi?

It has more bhp/PS and a lot more torque?

I think its a good step forward IMO, and the lower tax band and better mpg makes much more sense today.

My only gripes with the mk6 as per everyone else is the rear lights, which we have been told will be different on the GTi and the reocurring images showing that red banding around the top grill as per the W12, its just too much red IMO.

Anyhow this car looks promising and more exicting than the Rocco GT. Although a Rocco GTi might be e better bet, if not at least to get rid of that 4x4 wheel arch look.

Looking forward to Paris Show.

Do we really believe the GTI will be in the line up come the launch of the MK6?  It took a full year before the GTI appeared as a MK5.  Mind you I wouldn't mind, there should then be plenty of decent second hand MK5s for me to take my pick of on the market!
Its on show in paris next month.

Anyone want to go to the show?



17th to 19th Oct would be the weekend for me :cool:

So Hurdy your looking for a weekend away in paris with a few hairy men.  :kiss:
I know New golf is going.  :grin:

OI TC  :rolleyes:

Whats for tea? LOL!  :laugh:

Oh and will the GTI-R will be a 4 door?

Im sure the GTi R will demand R32 Money which could be too much for what it is. It may make more sense to get the Standard one coming with less emmisions and better on fuel. :undecided:
