The mark 7 sounds as if it's going to be a special car, can't wait will defiantly put as order in when it comes out.
Auto Express also has the mark 7 down for 2012 :)

The mk7 may be out towards the end of 2012 but if you want the GTI, then based on VW's usual model launch strategy, the GTI will follow - probably 2nd half 2013 or early 2014
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

The A3 is out soon (if rumours are to be believed) so expect the Golf not long after with the GTI out next year, they will release it after the XVR and ST

I read somewhere that the mark 7 will be shown to the public in March at a motor show. That would indicate it's ready to roll off the production line later this year. I would expect the GTI to be ready for spring 2013 :)

This is depressing! I haven't even got my MK6 yet and there's all this talk of the MK7.  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Long live the MK6 lol!

Always a new model around the corner though.

It would be nice too see a mk7 GTi UK order book open towards the end of the year, but I think it will be early 2013, unless anyone knows different.

Looks quite high, cross over concept of some sort is my guess.
