I still feel mass produced even though there does not seem to be a Red GTI visible. :cry:

Same thing  happens in the Puebla Plant in Mexico.   The Golf Variant is selling like Beer on a hot day, north America and they struggle to meet demand, sooner or later for example they run out of tires and Wheels and they have to stop  production.

My Golf Variant was very hard to  get and I waited like 1 month to get it,and its made 90 kms away from where I live!!!

When I was visiting the plant they made tat  day 3400 cars (Beetles, Jettas Mk IV, Jetta (bora) MKVI)  and they needed only that  day 17000 tires and  wheels !!!!
