What exactly is the point of these edition cars? The difference in price and bhp between the GTI and R isn't big enough to justify the need to have a car planted right in the middle.

They're special edition cars to celebrate the age of the GTI so why not really.

If every 5 years they release a special edition they're not going to be particularly special

Still think it's worth doing the special editions and there is a market for them.   Was tempted to wait for the ed40 but have decided to go for an R in 2015.

And yet they still sell plenty of them, go figure.  :smug:

i'd only buy the special model, if i had a mk7 it would be a stop gap to a 40, whilst they cost more they tend to have better residuals and get rid of the pants stock wheels

in terms of sales, there were 2,300 mk5 Ed30s (and not the 1,500 original intended), 220 mk5 Pirellis and just under 700 Mk6 35s

Why don't you just get an R instead?

I've penciled in buying an Edition 40 when they come out, whether I will remains a different matter.
