New review - GTD Vs GTi

http://www.carbuzz.co.uk/blog/VW-Golf-GTI-GTD-475

There are a number of b'locks items in that article, namely that the GTD isn't available to order yet and that it has 17" alloys. Considering the article is only a few days old I think the author should have done their homework before signing off on it as the incorrect facts haven't just been subject to alteration in spec recently by VW.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Probably 70% of the reviews i've read so far have got at least one thing wrong! ;D

Apart from Car magazine I'm surprised at the lack of real reviews.

They didn't test a proper final production model though, they tested one of the final test cars. It'd be interesting to know when VW will release the first GTIs to the car mags for proper reviews. A month or two I imagine, for RHD models.

A few dealers I spoke to haven't even ordered their display or demo cars yet...

On one of the VW bulletins that Lee posted, it says that VW will order them and send them to the dealers.
