and in auto express

XDS Electronic Limited Slip Diff too  (I guess thats similar to the new cooper s type)

wonder if it retro fits to the MkV ?

....

I've just seen both Autocar and AutoExpress in WHSmiths Public Library - Not enough info to warrant buying the mags. 3-door white pictured.

It's very much as the latest rumoured pics - Scirocco style front and interior dashboard. Good to see the tartan cloth back! Nasty cheap looking steering wheel with too much fussy silver bits (too Audi). BBS White Worm Edition 18's but with black inserts rather than grey. Rear looks very Mk4-ish.

Ed30 engine, Scirocco suspension setup, VW electronic LSD (think I prefer the reliability of my Quaife). I think I read it's also got ADC - Adaptive Distance Control - Yuk!! No increase in 0-62 or top speed unless you count 2 mph.

I'm sure it will look better in the flesh and in other colours than white - The Mk5 looks better in white than the Mk6 imo.

Although both mags mention a future 'GTI-R' AWD, I'm not at all sure it will happen (unfortunately).

....My Mk5 is in pieces as we 'speak' - Having a modified Quaife ATB diff installed. I think I will be happier with it than something else electronic but I'm fascinated to find out more about how the XDS diff works.

Any clues on the pricing in comparison to the 'rocco ?

i like that and i do like the R32 style pipes but would i swap mine for it  maybe not

[Top Cat]

Are they official pics  i cant believe they are going to keep the monza II

[08micsta]

I have to agree. The Monza 2 look awesome but why after losing so much money on refurbs and replacements due to whiteworm etc would they keep it in the range? And besides that. Surely the MK6 will need something to set it apart?

I would imagine there is a huge stockpile of them (the model was originally intended a further 2 years production) and they'll do some sort of 'facelift' version halfway through the lifespan with updated wheels and some other stick-on bits/engine revisions when they run out of monzas.
