I think you’ve secretly got an urge to be an early adopter of a mk8.5 R or Clubsport; you’ve had your current mk8 R now for a few months now so it must be time for a change…… :whistle: :grin:

Maybe Grenadilla Black is the new Black Ruben (a.k.a. Purple). For those not familiar with Black Ruben; Google it and have a look at the images.

Busted!

Nah, I’d lose about two years worth of wages in depreciation selling the R, I’ll slum it for a bit longer! 😁

I was clearing out open tabs on my phone that haven’t been touched in months (years in many cases) and spotted the VW search still sat there, so decided I’d have a nose to see what stock VW were still pushing through to dealers.

My guess is they’ve run down pearl black and are now building Golfs in a different black before the facelift changeover. It’s not like any of them are actual customer spec builds.

I’ll struggle on without ChatGPT a little longer.
