A lot of it is to do with how you would feel about putting up with something on an ongoing basis.  I'd happily drive around in a Tornado Red GTI for the weekend, but wouldn't want to own one that colour.

Funny enough, I feel exactly the same about the white!  :smiley:

That red MK7 doesn't look great to me either...

Having said that, a mate of mine has an Edition 30 in Tornado red and its absolutely stunning. He minds it like a baby and its one hell of an eye catching car.  I had a "blue graphite" MKV GTI, a rare enough colour, which didn't photograph very well at all. Always looked more Elephant grey in photos! But in bright sunshine after it was waxed it looked absolutely stunning too.
You really need to see the car in good lighting conditions to make up your mind on a colour.

Just drove past Vindis Cambridge on my lunch break and spotted the very tip of a GTI body kit sticking out of a line of cars.  Quick 180 and I snapped the below pics while having a very silly grin on my face.

TR
5 door
Manual
Tartan
8inch Nav
DCC
Winter Pack

Chap said they are one of the first dealers to get one (believe it?) and that they had no control over the spec at all.  He said they had taken 15 orders already (believe it?) and that an order now could take up to 20weeks/5months.  They're not supposed to offer test drives until the launch but he said serious people can have one now.  I was having fun reving it when he said I could have a drive now, but sadly I was due back in work.  Might head down Saturday, although apparently there will be quite a crowd!

Nice pics Bear. Red and white seem to be the order of the day for demo models. Would so like to see pics of a black one

If you want to drive it I'd give them a call first.  Chap I spoke to was Jack and he said he's already booked in "several" people for Saturday.  Might be sales tactics but would hate for you to drive all the way up here and find its out all day...  :tongue:
