I bet all you guys that chose white are feeling gutted now....I dont really like the look of the MK7, but oh sh!t the CSG for the win in my opinion.  :shocked:

Nope, CSG looks nice, but for me it's white all the way to pick out all those red and black accents!

Was really set on 'Night Blue' - But now seeing this Carbon Grey I'm very tempted to change my mind!!

Mine is TR, so I have no affinity towards the white at all - but I can say in the flesh it looks amazing.

Tornado Red here too & ill never change, not even if it was a free paint. It looks like Tornado Red is actually going to be a rare colour for the GTI this time around!

14% TR.

3rd highest choice after PW at 42% and CSG at 16%.  Oryx is 9% so you could roll that into the PW to give 51% choosing a white car...

Me neither, its the best colour IMO.  Also, the fewer TR GTI's the better, means we'll stand out even more  :laugh:

Sorry, I'll rephrase.  I didn't mean standing out in that respect, I meant standing out come selling time.

Not only is TR my favourite colour but I also like it because it doesn't stand out as much.  In my line of business people don't like to see you in a flashy car eg. the White, so TR is perfect for me.

I think red isnt that popular because of the red trim. With any other colour you get that nice contrast but it becomes lost in the TR
