Thanks - that 300 they put up with the teaser has to be 300 hp - very impressive, same as the Audi S3 engine from what I am reading on VWVortex. Can't wait to see the Frankfurt rollout.

Your probably looking at 2016 delivery date for one of these!

I hope so. Could be in the market for one at that point

I doubt that very much. They've clearly finished the design and done a lot of the set up testing with the new body. They are hardly going to lose sales for 3 years delaying the release. It will be out by late next year (later as usual for NA). Here's hoping they add a nice ediff to the package this time.

I think he was joking. I'm sure it will here at some point next year

Yeah they won't delay the release... it's the build and delivery we're not so sure about!

So are you sticking or twisting Bill? You decided yet?

Flying back to blighty tonight, so I'll decide tomorrow I think.  I have an offer of another M135i with even better spec than the black one now.  Same as GTI i have on order except no reverse cam or sunroof, but can have it this week for £1.5k less than the GTI.  Emotionally I don't want to "cancel" an order i have placed but the M is making me feel excited and the GTI is not.  It's VWs fault not the car of course.

The one sticking point is if I do cancel the decision is pretty much irreversible due to starting a huge wait over again and without the rear cam.  But I think if I do pull the plug in a couple of days I'll forget any doubts as I drive away with 320 horses.  Like I say I'll think it over on the flight home and make a decision tomorrow.

I will miss this forum if i go beemer however!
