Title: Golf Mk7 GTI Launch Date
Post by: GolfTi on 25 August 2012, 21:34
I think it will be on 20/05/2013.


Best guesses welcome, I'm sure the mods will come up with some sort of prize for the winner.

Base on my rusty German, and translating the article below I'd guess the GTi is due one year after the Mk 7 is released.

So late 2012 for the base Golf Mk 7's and late 2013 for the GTI  :angry:

Two questions...

1. Is that for GTi Launch, or just mk7 Golf?

2. I assumme if its regular Golf 7 we are talking 2012, or do you mean Sep-Oct 2013 for GTi?

Cheers

Just the mk7 golf launch I wouldn't expect the gti to be out for at least 6-9 months after normal mk7. So mid 2013 ish......

What I want to know is when's the new GTD out?

Post by: HA54SYM` on 31 August 2012, 09:32
German press ae all reporting that the 'other models' GTI/GTD/R will all be out earlier in the lifetime of the mk7 cycle than has been before.

R is now rumoured to be hear sooner than end of 2013 release in Germany, so maybe 3rd Quarter.

Guess that could mean GTi out 1st or 2nd Quarter 2013 in Germany. Could make sense if a GTi is shown in concept form at Paris in September.

Sounds good if true.

If you know someone who works at a vw dealer its often good info for them to check the parts catalogue as it often tells them on the updates when new modes and engine versions will be available from.
