I have hankered long and hard over the GT4 for a while, no need to go mad on options, for me its a car where less is more, a few choice goodies and nav, few issues are the wife and the speed humps in my road and its a lot of wonga but probably will depreciate less than a GTI/R and would probably replace my R and i'd just rent something instead of the Polo like a CS or R

Love the CS and i get why people would have it over the R, other R owners don't on the whole

I don't wish to be the bearer of some bad news but Porsche don't have any more  GT4's for sale...They made no trepidation of saying if you didn't have one on pre order it is too late?

I dont think you'll be able to just wander into a dealer and get one BTO now.

However i may be mistaken

He has been offered a build slot from one of his friends so he doesn't have to worry about placing a new order  :laugh:

i'll take plenty of pics of this next week at Frankfurt, got a bit of a dilemma as i friend has offered me his Cayman GT4 slot  :shocked:

Confused by your comment - the mk 7 is a very nice looking car.  And certainly isn't chavved up like the new RS.

Ah thanks for clearing that up.

I'd take that opportunity as I suspect it won't depreciate due to such small number

I'm only joking, but although subjective the Golf isn't really a stunner in many people eyes, I guess one good thing about the RS is that hasn't gone down the 4 exhaust route which is to be commended.

Ah, ok  :grin:

I think the Mk7 is a very good looking car.  I often admire the other variants I see driving around.

I like the 2 exhausts, but I'm afraid I'm in the 4 exhausts are better camp, so I disagree  :laugh:  so much so that I was looking at a 435d the other day and was put off by the fact it only had twin exhausts to one side - didn't look right.

Dubai Autoshow brochure.

The other rims, presumably are the forged 18's, but they look more like 19's in the those pictures? A little like the R Prets.

Trying to decipher or translate the brochure, does that mean it is 265bhp & DSG ONLY?

That'a shame if you can't have a manual!
