Personally I didn't think that was any sort of secret.

As said I really hope they do go for a Clubsport in future generations, as the regular GTi now seems a bit too tame after moving to the CS, but still subtle enough for everyday use.

The comms surely didn't get read by all the dealers..  my local dealer emailed me today to say they are expecting their first car soon and probably demoing it.. and that they still have build slots available to order !

Clearly this isn't the case - I have emailed him to double check and ask if any of the cars are spec amendable or not.  I guess they will have a few coming through although it sounds like they aren't actually customer orders.. 

Oh well if they don't have a home it might be a blessing and possible to pick up a good spec car at a good price. 

That said with PP GTi's on the market for £16k now I am also wondering if that is a bit of a bargain !
