Heaven forbid I might be a potential VW customer again at some point not necessarily in the far flung future. 
I might consider waving a white flag to those two any day of the week!
Only because they're packing Kalashnikovs of course...
I was nosing at another forum in the night and saw a GTD with what looked like more of a blue hue to the "dials" more like I'd seen in a GTE previously. That looked a lot less plain and nicer to look at than some of the rather plain looking examples I've seen of AID so maybe it's very badly represented in other pics and vids I've seen. I'll get round to seeing one in the flesh at some point.
In the meantime don't assume I'm anti-AID as I'm not. I just think it looks crap switched off with a huge gormless void filling the dash and in 7.5 guise it's not as stylish as in Audis I've seen.
The analogue dials of mk7 GTIs and GTDs are plain as hell (the ClubSport dials are better and the R dials are lovely) and I'd not be sorry to see the back of them but VW had a blank canvass with the 7.5 AID and while some examples of it look ok others look a bit plain and not completely intuitive.
Aside possibly from the standard fit alloys all other aspects of the 7.5 GTI/D are a nice step forward/sideways so onwards and upwards.
