I was interested in the ED50, but I couldn’t possibly justify it at over €80k with the performance package here in Ireland. We really get screwed here with our tax system. The same car is less than €60k in Germany.

I can’t see many being sold here at that price.

Its the protectionist 'VRT' tax on a tax that drives the price up.

Is this officially announced now?

£175 less but worth a fair bit more 5 years down the line depending on spec (and legislation!) for cash buyers. I wonder how the PCP’s stack up though which probably accounts for a good proportion of registrations.

Interesting that there’s still no bucket seat availability which is the usual top desire of Ed40 hunters. It’s not like bucket seats aren’t available on the platform with both the RS3 and Leon getting the option. Albeit the Leon might only have the seats in the TCR edition or whatever it’s called (going from memory here as I thought I saw it announced earlier in the year).

Don't see it on the UK configurator yet, but it's about €18k cheaper than Ireland if that price is accurate. Count yourselves lucky!
