Never really liked the old VW Site as you couldnt build your own car....just seen the new VW Website and i really really like it...well done :)
www.volkswagen.co.uk :smiley:

-

That is strange, If I was buying a new one now that would put me off, hate leather in cars.

man they have made the website hard to navigate

Just gotta get used to it...i think its quite cool...
-
much better than the old site imo :cool:
One thing thou is that it states the ED30 comes with 17'' 'Pescara' alloy wheels. Hope mine doesnt turn up with 17" alloys
-
Is it me or do the GTI's/R32's on the new website look just like a normal golf, but with different wheels and cartoon stylee ? :huh:
-
its an improvement , but nobody is gonna be swayed into a GTI or R32 with the way the wheels look !!!
Even the bodyshell relative dimensions just dont look right to me...

On the old site it stated 17" and 18" but in two different places so I wouldn't worry too much! If you look into it a bit more it says that the wheels come with 225/40/18 tyres which obviously wouldn't go on a 17" wheel!
It does also say that the Ed30 doesn't come with foglights as standard but the picture clearly shows that it does!
-
A few problems to iron out then. I like the look of the site. Reminds me of the US site a little.
-
The GTI alloys on the "moving" car look :sick:. Also they have missed the black insert out of the front grill.

So they have dumbed it right down then :sick:
Looks like something Tesco's would churn out
-
the GTI on this new site does look a bit cartoon-like, not as good as in real life. might put some people off a bit.
-
I work with 3D, and the whole car is 3D and cartoon like, thats why the 17" and 18" wheels look the same, laziness!
-
Lots of issues to sort out on this new site.
Not least, if you go back to the home, it seems to take ages before anything draws, even if it already loaded the bits...
The thing I like most is the presentation of the options for a car... quite nicely done (and quick, unlike the front page)
-
No sooner have I spoken, but I clicked on the DSG option, and now my browser is running like treacle.
Doh!
Looks like this site needs a proper QA test.

so its true then, leather only from now on, which I find a bit strange, dont you guys?
I have a GTI on order and just confirmed it with my dealer that I am now getting leather for free, so I'm chuffed to bits! I couldn't justify the £1600 cost before, so I am extremely happy right now :smiley:
There's a mistake on the website, it states that the front centre arm rest is now standard, but it isn't.

Steve - Do you know if you would of got cloth if you didn't ring the dealer? Or are all newly build GTI's supplied with leather i.e. cloth no longer available?
Have you got a build date yet? My car should be here at the end of march and I can't wait!
Cheers

I think any car made after week 5 will be leather, that's what VW told me anyway. I'd still phone to check, and I'd definitely phone if you had ordered it as I presume those people will want £1600 knocked off the bill!
I ordered mid-Jan, my build date is mid-March and due to me early/mid-April. I can't wait :smiley:
