Also says its 20mm lower than a GTI.. Doesn't look it that first picture on the latest evo article. Looks higher

I thought the same thing. Wondered if it looked that way because of the new rear diffuser.

Read the Evo article yesterday. Anyone got any ideas about possible pricing?

My dealer assured me that the TCR wouldn’t see the light of day as a Mk7 and would actually be a Mk8. 

Got to £35k without options I imagine. Then the must have Akrapovic exhaust option will be £1500/2k. So probably touching £40k with right spec.

I have always found dealers know very little about new models (and the cars they sell!) so most people can know more than they do.

Was the original price of the clubsport dsg around £32.5k? Hoping it'll be closer to that. It'd be crazy at around 40k.

My 5dr GTI performance with DSG and metallic is £32,330 with no other options so TCR will be chunk extra for sure. Akra exhaust on R is actually a £3k option!!

I was just looking at the massive gap over the rear wheels!

Maybe they've still got the transport blocks on.
