Always has its editions.

Last years ones have not seen production,

Remember the white one with black stripes or the metallic red one?

All just show cars, nothing more, simply a good way to get in mags.

The Edition 30 came out at the VERY END of 2006 - as the majority of them are 2007+
If there is to be an Edition 35 - which I'm sure there will be... surely it would be at the very end of 2011, with deliveries being 2012?

Sorry, that is horrible

Attraction of GTI or R is the subtle aggression.

That's a mess.
Mk6 GTi - returned to leasing company after 3 great years and replaced with :

Mk5 GTi - Edition 30 - Revo 1 and some tweaks - 310 bhp. Its a better car than the Mk6  - Now sold and replaced with :

Mk6 R - Rising Blue 5 Door. Won't be standard 270bhp for long

Family Car : Mercedes ML420 with 360 bhp
Looking at Porsche Macan as replacement

Anyone remember last years version?



They do it every year, Im pretty sure the W12 was made for the same event.

If this "hardcore" version goes into production I'll eat my air intake.
