Its going to debut at the Paris motor show, which is in September. It should be on sale mid-November.

Price is unconfirmed at present (because as yet no spec has been confirmed), but you can bet you won't see much, if any, change from ?19k

Again, as the spec hasn't been confirmed, the performance figures haven't been released, but based on power output, one could assume the standard 200hp 2.0 litre fsi turbo will perform marginally better than the current 180bhp 1.8T

the current "GT" is capable of 8.9secs.

I reckon the 200bhp GTI will be 7.4secs.

oh yes, there's an R32 replacement on the cards - I think they're stretching it to 3.4 litres (R34 maybe?!)
