lol i love the rumour mill

Both GTI an ed 30 are still available to order.

There are lots of both the cars available on the system, we still have quota to fill.


Personnally i think the mark 6 is miles away yet. ( but that is my personal opinion).


People make up stuff all the time to create this type of discussion, is it not easier to wait for the offical press release.
(Why would some bloke who works for skoda know before a vw dealer, laughable really)

isnt it normally 6 months prior to a new model coming out that they stop taking orders?
I think its like that for all companies. The 6 months is the transition period where they change the machinery etc at the production plant to make the newer models (unless they use a new loaction which i doubt very much due to costs).

My prediction is that  the ED30 will finish, VW will also ditch the R32 in the UK. (TAX reasons) The standard GTI will get the ED30 engine, which will be carried over to the next GTI late next year.


Loyal owner since 2005, done with remapping, I drive a Golf not a Veyron. (hypocrite)
