I put in an order for my 1.4 TSI (sigh no gti here) about 2 weeks ago and im looking around Jan / Early feb for delivery

wait until March 1st and you get the new "12" plate in the UK though - surely thats worth the extra few weeks?

(i'm going to be in the position where the car will literally be sitting there for 3 weeks until the plate change before I pick it up - painful but probably worth it)

Mk7 Golf versions are estimated for arrival on these shores end of 2012 but the Mk7 GTI will take a bit longer and most probably May/June 2013. The GTI is normally released 5-6 months after the initial new version release.

I personally think it will be a couple of years yet until we see any versions of the Mk7  :undecided:

Lets face it, the Mk6 was based pretty much on the platform of the Mk5 and I can't see this being the case with Mk7.

Anyway, I am first on the list at my dealership for a 5 Door Golf Mk7 GTi. Stick with Red, ACC, 18", Xenons, Cloth, Manual, Cruise, Upgraded audio.
I'll be ready to strike when the iron is hot! :cool:

Lets hope it turns out to be a good step forward over the MK6.

I am 100% sure it will be alright on the night as a very nice and cute little birdie I have known for many years perched on the wolf's lair told me so. :smug:

It will no doubt be nice, but I can foresee most of us saying its not worth £30k for the standard GTI.....
