When do the 2011 models become 2012??
Usually from August onwards, but saying that, I bought a MY 2000 Mk4 GTI in June 1999.
-
So the GTd i've ordered which is to be built in week 29 should be a 2012 model?? If that's true, i would like to know also if there are any changes to the 2011 model

I think the dealers got the bulletin last week, maybe give your contact at your dealer a ring and ask them what if anything has changed.
There is a model year change at around week 22. Then there is a slight tweek to the specs at around week 45. So he is sort of right but its a cheaky way of saying it. :wink: As there is one change per model year (week 45-46) but the model year changes at around week 22.

I will check with my dealer first thing tomorrow and let know thanks :smiley:
-
I have been off for just over a week and back tomorrow and will post any findings I get from vw desktop.
-
Spoke with dealer who has checked VW desktop back to start of April, apparently no information on any changes as yet.

The principle changes to 2012 model GTI's are,
Single exhaust tailpipe on n/s.
B pillar back privacy glass now an optional extra.
Semi-automatic air conditioning in leu of dual zone climate control.
LED rear lights now an optional extra.
3 door model deleted
On the plus side, there will only be a 1.5% price increase.

Actually the colour wise is not far off the truth. There is huge issues with paint supplies.

Good Lord. First it was the engine shortages (still is by the sounds of things), then the parts shortages and now they haven't ordered enough paint.
It must be so frustrating working in a dealership and having to tell people that an overpriced shopping car has massive waiting lists despite the fact it only has a 12 month shelf life left on the model. Then watching said customers vanish. No wonder you see so few mk6 GTIs and GTDs about.
At least we can take heart in the fact that our highly desireable cars have an excellent used value - until you come to part ex them that is....
