i think you all may have seen more than you think, you might mistake them for 307's, i see at least 2to 3 a day and have had the pleasure to race a GT TDi off the lights, they are'nt quick at all.

the GT TDI is fast ... just remember its a diesel and they probably cant drive it properly.

140bhp 2.0 with about 235lb/ft torque?

just wait till the 160bhp TDI comes out with about 250lb/ft torque!!!!  :o

I saw a FSI GT on the lights a month or so ago and he didn't stand a chance. that was with the 8v in there. These new cars are just too dam heavy. Forget all that 140bhp and 240lb/ft babble. they have to haul 1300kg+ so need it lol. ;D

we used to have the only one in my town for months but now theres about 10 +.
great car handles well , very confortable and silent .
yes they are heavy but very very solid more like an audi than a volkswagen.
at the end of the day why would you want to waist this expensive liquid we call petrol and our new car by racing away from the traffic lights. just cruise along................
