7.1 seconds to 60 and sounds pretty good to me.

So the GTD gets the red stripe between the dials too then? :huh:

All the GTD photos I have seen confirm that red stripe is a standard feature (In other words it is exact same display as GTI) but until we see the UK dials ourselves we cannot be 100% certain.

Hopefully some of the GTI guys receiving theirs now will show if dials are MPH & KPH? or just MPH? Imagine it will be former?

In the price list it specifies "GTD specific instrument cluster" and "GTI specific instrument cluster" so i thought they'd be different?? :undecided:

They maybe will be? as all we have seen to present are demo and vehicles set up for reviewers and they could have been generically built with/without some features IE:ADC

You would imagine this line in GTD would be chrome as the red line, small a detail as it is, will look out of place in the grey/chrome GTD theme that replaces GTI Red.

Till the cars start flowing here I do not think there is any final certainty on anything. Is sound actuator standard on UK GTD or is there the 'sport pack' to come etc?

James, I love how you know every detail from the price list!  Yeah, that stripe should be grey on the GTD sounds like...

Sadly it appears to be the same as the GTI cluster which is crap really isn't it. Especially as the UK brochure states "unique ‘GTD’ instrument cluster".

I suppose by "unique" they might mean different to the rest of the range.  As if they copied the GTI description but changed it from GTI to GTD.  Technically that's not unique then... But I could see where they were coming from.

Or the demos are all wrong.

Hopefully i'll be able to answer these questions (dials, "Soundaktor")today. Events happening over the weekend would imply that my dad's GTD will be collected today after the dealer has pulled some very long and complicated strings to streamline the delivery to the dealership from the docks.

If so we'll be getting the GTechniq treatments put on tonight and i'll take a few pics.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
