Maybe, but that won't make it any easy for a lot of people to swallow!!!  ;D

Take it from me, people don't like the idea of a diseasel being quicker than them - a lot of people see the diesel as one evolutionary step up from the handcart!

Ant, expect this to become a hotly debated topic!

i'm not bothered about whether the 'diseasel' as you put it is faster, but just whether its got a GTI badge or not. TDi's are quick (esp. off the mark), theres no disputing that. there is a stigma attached to diesel cars.

My PD (and I think all 150's) are badged as GTi's.

The 130 and below are badged as TDI's

By the way, my reply above was in response to Black's message, not yours. I wasn't making light of your point!

115 and 130 = GT TDI

150 = GTI

EDIT: Who calls who names?

I'm sure a magazine tested the mk2 16v as about 7 secs 0-60, will have to do a search.
I doubt the 150pd is the fastest gti badged golf, its certainly one of the fastest.

Magazine or not ... the owners manual states 8.5secs... 0.2secs quicker than the mk3 16v.
