Agree with posts above..... may have to go Seat next time for my VAG kicks....!
I've been thinking the same Martin.
When I first saw the ED35 I thought ''Yes, I like that'' but the more I read Dave's links and realised a lot of the stuff on the press release car looks like it's going to be optional I thought ''what's the point?''. It'll be a good used buy in 3 or so years time maybe but not a wise buy if bought new. Unless VW do a discount run sometime to clear stocks of obsolete model when the mk7 starts tooling up for production.
I was again looking at Leon Cupra Rs recently. It'd be stupid to buy one new unless your company is stumping up the cash but as a used buy: Cupra R with Nav and Xenons, 6 months old and about £20k, less if you want a yellow one (and yellow is very much a 'classic' Cupra colour and suits the styling). Not much more than you'd pay for a six month old FR TDI with similar spec.
Me want!
Just like my Missus; I'll forgive the looks cos she was cheap! (I'll deny ever saying that !!!)
