Mk7 GTi - First UK deliveries, when?
« on: 23 January 2012, 09:17 »
So its been rumoured that the mk7 Golf will preview at Paris show in September this year.

So when do we think we will see a concept of the GTi, and then actual UK deliveries of one?

Early 2014?

Depends on the release date of the Mk7. So far sources (various internet articles) have suggested a lead time of 12 months, based upon the lead times for the Mk6.

I was hoping for a mid-late 2013 date for the GTI.  :sad:

Hopefully they will be out in about 4 years to give me a chance to save up for one of the bloody things  :smiley:

The A3 was released around 2003, the Golf 2004 and the Leon 2005, so as we still haven't seen the A3 yet (or have we?), the Golf will be around 12 after the official unveiling of the all new A3.

Did a bit of window shopping in the Audi garage the other day and I enquired about the new A3. They had no brochures, pictures, prices or any and info on the availability. However the salesman was pushing for me to put down a £500-00 deposit so I could be first on the list. Yeh right, like I’m going to do that.

Mid 2013 would mean I'll have had mine exactly 4 years before it's replaced by a new model.

Pretty poor if you ask me Golfs are getting like football shirts - they'll be replacing them every year soon!!!!!

New A3 is scheduled to be launched at Geneva this March - 2012

The Mk7 Golf Will be shown this Sept / Oct and I would imagine the GTi will make an appearance in spring - summer 2013!
