I think the concensous on the German forums is that the one in the background is a non PP optioned car, as it does not have the fins on the side of the rar screen, nor does it have the wing badge, but curiously does have GTi logo on the brakes, although you can't really see if they are the 17" versions.
I like it, and pretty sure it will be my next car.
Interesting question, is whether the GTi will come with Xenons as standard? It would make sense as why have 2x different headlamp units with a red trim in them for Halogen and Xenon.
Ideal UK basic spec would be for same price as mk6 model, and Xenons standard in lieu of Nav on the GT, that way we'd get rid of that poxy horrible grill mounted camera.
