Title: Goodwood VW stand
Post by: ROO1 on 14 July 2013, 21:14
Anyone been to Goodwood FOS? GTD on the stand looked awesome in white. Strange how they put it round the corner from the gti so the 2 werent together. Looked much smarter than the gti in my opinion, however the gti has a sexier arse

They put the GTD around the corner 'cos otherwise all the GTI orders would be scrapped for the much better looking GTD  :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

White S3 looked too plain on the audi stand..audi design getting too safe? And ultimately boring?

Most things Audi are boring now... I was trying to convince myself to get an A3, but couldn't face the look of the car, I only wanted it because it was Audi and not a VW. I have so made the right choice imo. Especially now I've seen those GTD Demo pics :o)

How exactly do the two of them look different apart from the wheels  :huh: :huh:

Come on, then the GTD guys have their moment! ;)  :grin:

Seriously though, as a car that's slightly more understated, the GTD definitely takes the prize.  Both have sharp looks, but the GTI does push the boat out a bit with the wheels, red accents and rear exhaust.

I was at FoS also, the GTD did look fantastic!  That picture on Page 1 doesn't do it justice....

The S3 did look nice on the Audi stand, but it was just shy of £40k with some options!!!!

Not to mention the RS7, £142k (again with "some" options).  That is just insane...

The RS6 looked amazing though, one of my production cars of the day.

40k for a specced up s3, no surprise there to me, these headline prices are just to get people into the showroom, I mean elec heated and folding mirrors are an option on the s3 !

A dealer I trust told me you will need to spend " at least " 35k on a decently specced s3' and one of the reason the gti appealed to me was 2 must have options, the 18 inch wheels and xenons are both std, so you don't need to go mad on the options to have a decent car.

In its own right, the GTi badge in mk7 form Carries just as much prestige without any of the snob value of the s3 and looks a ton better.  If it can do all that for 8k less then to me it's a bargain  :laugh:

TBF Bill, I'm not gonna start another "it looks better than the GTI." but it does... end of!

(I'm only jesting with you... it was a long day at work and a bit of fun is called for  :smiley: )
