1st May Price List

[SF-GTD]

The new price list is showing online now.  I've not had time to digest the contents, but standard colour multi-function screen is there, climate windscreen and advanced telephone prep.

EDIT

Would be helpful if I added a link http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/assets/common/pdf/pricelists/golf-gti-vii-pricelist.pdf

So they are asking for some pennies for the Colour MFD now?

Soooo... are we still getting it for free or not?  This sounds like an easy error to make.  I'm going to email my dealer to ensure it goes on my order.

No sorry, I meant this is the first official thing I've see that actually says its standard.

My bad, I missed the word "standard".  Cheers dude!

NO, colour MDF is showing up as standard equipment now on the GTD spec of the GTD/GTI page. As GTI shows only items that exceed GTD spec then it is also included on GTI.

Car prices haven't gone up on the GTD/GTI, but all options seem to have gone up, some by not even 1% (ACC/DCC - gone from £795 to £800), some by 25% (White paint - now £250 instead of £200, metallic paints are up by 5%/£25).

On page 11 they are showing the car popping out of a top hat white rabbit style.

Reference to the Golf being branded the "Rabbit" in the US perhaps?  Or maybe just VW being weird?

Although its still an option to select under the configurator, but that's always at least 2 weeks out of date!

Nearly had a Mr. Angry moment there when I saw that under Dynaudio you loose the space saver and instead get a can of tyre foam, which is totally contrary to what VW customer services told me.

I then re-read it properly, and noticed the disclaimer for the loss of the space saver was for SE and GT models only (phew). Wonder what's the significance of the GTI and GTD models retaining their spares but the other model not ? Something to do with the GTI / GTD being premium models running on 18" alloys as a minimum, and VW didn't think a tin of foam would cut it ?

[SF-GTD]

Is the space saver bigger due to the bigger alloys, so can accommodate the Dynaudio stuff?
