GTD !!!!
« on: 24 March 2005, 15:40 »
Apparently the VW boffins are working on a GTi Spec diesel version...in other words it will look exactly like the Gti but have a diesel lump under the hood...typical...I buy a new one and they announce they will be introducing a faster, sportier and more stylish diesel........argh!!!!!  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:  160+ BHP !!!

looks like I will be swapping for another VW in the not too distant future!!!!   :grin: :grin:

This has been on the cards right from the start, it was even mentioned on www.newgolfgti.co.uk . I wouldn't expect to see it until late 2006 or 2007 though, according to vw uk the new R32 will be with us before the diesel GTI.
