Everything has been pointing to a delay.
I doubt it’ll be a 12 month delay though. They’ll merely move from the traditional Autumn launch to Spring. Same as they trialled for the 7 to 7.5.
Could be some great winter deals on the last of line 7.5’s.
WLTP caused a massive log jam with its timing so it made sense for the 8 to be held back a bit. VW wouldn’t have gone to all the trouble of designing unique parts for the TCR if it was only going to be around long enough for a couple months worth of orders.
