GTD Brochure - When can we download it?

[Hawaii-Five-O]

To tide you over, you could have a look at the German GTD brochure:

Surely the UK one can't be that hard to produce, assuming that the specs are broadly aligned.... Maybe they are waiting until MY14.

Just noticed there's no ADC radar on the GTD featured in the German PDF brochure?

Might be nothing, might be something

Right, fair play to VW customer services, as they promised me last week they would call be back over my query, and sure enough today they did.

What they are telling me is that the GTD will not have it's own brochure, but instead will be incorporated into the standard MK7 Golf brochure, with just the GTi being kept separate. He tells me this information came direct from VW marketing, and will coincide with the relaunch of the MK7 brochure in late May / early June to coincide with the MY14 updates.

Also, as a side issue, they have now 100% confirmed, that the Dynaudio not only comes with a Sub in the boot, but that it fits into the space saver spare wheel (as per the new Audi A3), and therefore you still get a spare not a silly can of puncture foam that ruins your tyre. Happy days !!!

Thanks for the update.

I think it's fairly poor that VW haven't managed to prepare adequately for two of their flagship models within the range.

Plus, it's just really annoying me that I cant study what I've ordered

I too feel its p*ss poor that VW aren't going to produce a UK specific brochure for the GTD. It is one of their flagship models after all. As you can see from the link posted above there was a German one produced back in February. At the very least all they'd have to do is translate the text to English and publish. How hard can that be eh.

Given @UKVolkswagen 's twitter response to me yesterday I still have a sneaking suspicion they'll produce one despite Norbreck's response [no offence].

I agree that it would seem strange to incorporate it within the other MK7 range, but similarly, from a marketing viewpoint, i'd find it very strange for a company such as VW not to have all brochures and specifications agreed well in advance of orders being taken!

To be fair, given that they are deciding to hold GTI orders in stasis so they can be updated to MY14 specification, I'm sure a lot of meetings and decisions have taken place that justify the lack of information and confusion.  Not saying I'm happy with it, but I guess it should mean we get something a bit more special than originally planned.

Oh well the GTD has been reduced to run of the mill brochure. I still have my mk6 GTI/GTD brochure.

Hi mate can you point me in the right direction. Just downloaded it from the GTI section and it's the same one I saw 7 weeks ago.

I picked up a specific GTD brochure and price list from my dealer on Saturday, so they are out there.
