170 TDI Scirocco has a red "I" too to distinguish it from the 140TDI, both badged "2.0 TDI". Used plenty of times now and in the past, mainly to distinguish different output versions of the same engine unit. This badging implies greater potency over the current GTI to those familiar with the system.
10bhp greater potency  :laugh:

Maybe they should just go with a red "I" so that later they can bring out the 40th edition with a red "TI", on the assumption it will have more than 230PS.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

IMO the red GTI badge looks like something you'd pick up at Halfords and stick it on a 1.1 Saxo.

My dealer hasn't even mentioned these changes even though I have a car on order.

Shall I shout in March when my GTD doesn't have " that" sound ?

If it was on the brochure as standard spec when you placed your order then yes (not sure if it does). Sound actuator has come to be expected on the highest output 2.0TDI (177/184PS).
