If you actually read anything of what was said, or took a moment to understand it, its not the price thats the problem, its the principle of upping it by that amount when there was no need to on a car that is already way overpriced. Wither it's a tax issue or a money rate issue, VW should have left it alone.

I have understood what was said. If you are that annoyed with it, tell the dealer, I'm sure they'll knock it off for you. Afterall it is only £15.

I agree... I would be more embarrassed to ask for £15 off. I'd be asking £1500 ! :shocked:

VW make cars to make money.... I am sure the thousands of future owners of Mk6 GTi's won't of even of noticed the price increase so VW will happily collect all those extra £15's!!  Oh and they will probably increase it again in a couple of months ready for September registrations!  :wink:

Odd that they didn't hike the price by the £1000 that the SMMT have to discount on the scrappage scheme.

No point being caught with your trousers down by the Government now, is there?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

If you think it is overpriced, then why would you be willing to pay that much?? :huh: A car is worth what you are willing to pay, thus, it would not be overpriced in your opinion.
