MK7 GTI Facelift

See the Black Rubin in that brochure is Metallic and not Solid, like we get in the UK.

Joe,

Where did u get that new brochure?

I cant see it on the VW website?

You can't see it because it's grey and the lighting on your viewing device is low. VW should have gone with a white front page.

Imagine the hell you could cause with a near silent Tesla in one of these statistically terrible colours. Be like it's wearing a cloak of invisibility. Death and destruction everywhere. And so hard to find where you left it. Nightmare.

On the Irish info it pushes the R road tax in manual to the €750 a year bracket, and states its only 0.1 second faster than the GTI.

The digital dash is standard, I wonder if you can opt out?

Check the brochure. There is a no cost option to remove the £499 digital dash, in the UK version

Haven't seen the digital dash yet but why would someone want to remove it? My thinking is that its a more modern look.

There are always haters when new stuff comes along.

People hate electric windows/electric handbrake/auto lights etc etc etc

[davyk31]

Assume the digital dash is now standard on both the new GTD and GTi?

[fredgroves]

Yes it is standard

Whether you like the digital dash or not, I think you'd be absolutely nuts to actually spec for it's removal.

Come resale time, it will be expected that the car of that age/generation would have it...
