I know it's only wishful thinking, but wouldn't it be great if the GTI and GTD models came with the Cloth / Leather / Alcantera trim as shown in the Autoexpress review. Pretty sure they'll come with 100% cloth, but those seats do look real nice.
Also, I've only just noticed that the GTI / GTD steering wheel is totally different to the standard models. At first I though it was just the stitching colour and the small logo on the lower spokes, but not having had a closer look, the airbag is much smaller and rounder than the lesser models, which makes me wonder if the steering wheel itself is slightly smaller in diameter ? It looks like the buttons on the spokes are actually larger than other models (see below)

Also, anyone else noticed that it only seems to the be the GTI / GTD's that have an extra button on the lower left side of the handbrake (left row, very bottom) for traction control (TCS) on/ off - all other models don't seem to have this and need to turn the TCS on or off from the infotainment screen. Maybe VW feel that the performance models need access to this much quicker ?
