I read this:-

For 2011 the GTi gets an trim level overhaul, instead of starting from the base model and adding options (nav, xenons, etc) VW is now going to make 4 distinctive versions with set standard equipment, so here they are:

- GTI Base – includes: new RCD310 single disc CD player with satellite radio, leather steering wheel (same design as last year, without multifunction buttons)

- GTI w/ Sunroof – includes all of the above plus: Premium 8 touchscreen radio, leather multifunction steering wheel, power sunroof

- GTI w/ Sunroof and Navigation – includes all of the above plus: new RNS315 navigation system and bi‐xenon headlights with AFS

- GTI Autobahn – includes all of the above plus: leather top sport seats with V‐Tex leatherette door inserts, Dynaudio “Lite” and Smart Key keyless entry with push‐start/stop ignition

Other updates include a much improved and welcomed bluetooth system called 9W7 that will erase all the confusion and pain associated with the 9W3/9W2 systems and well as the following:

- 18‐inch “Detroit” alloy wheels now standard on all trim levels

- Rear side thorax airbags  no longer available

- Voice‐controlled Bluetooth w/ audio streaming and phonebook download standard (9W7)

- GTI: new RCD310 single disc CD player with satellite radio

- GTI w/ Sunroof and Navigation and Autobahn Packages: New RNS315 navigation replaces RNS510 navigation

- GTI Autobahn: New Smart Key keyless entry with and push‐start/stop ignition

The pic with the steering wheel buttons doesn't make sense??? :huh: and it looks like the new ones will control the clock cos it's the same image thats by the rev counter.
