What have I missed?
No, I was actually ill for quite a period of time... No need to be rude.
Negative on that one for now, bottom line is if you want any amendments made to the Golf GTI lineup in terms of spec etc. PESTER YOUR DEALER for change...
Bottom line is this, VWA has a new modus operandi in relation to marketing and product management. If you want a GTI with PP in Manual as a 3 door, go speak to the dealers. VWA wants you to decide...
I think that you've hit the nail on the head, the R is IN THE EYES OF VWA just a fancy party horse... We've asked them for a manual in the R range but the evaluation cars that they've ordered for...
Well I apologise for what Fiona was saying, they were hinting at having a cheaper model, I apologise deeply for any massive inconvenience Marcotto. There is a whole fleet of Mk.7 Rs coming next week...
I've just put up some high quality photos on my blog... Feel free to use them as your wallpapers if you wish!
Oh and they had one standard GTI there with the 19s, talk about jiggly! It just never settled down...
That's exactly what they've been telling us, no-one wants to buy manuals in today's day and age. Oh and the R will almost certainly be 5 door, DSG only... We are a minority, not "normal" people... :)...
Driving this one now, during our little regroup!

Oh and just to let you all know, we are begging them to consider a cheaper, smaller alloyed version of the GTI with the PP as an option in manual or DSG....
Just a quick update from the drive today, had a quick go in the DSG just now. It's even more clinical in its precision... Can't fault it nonetheless, but I got back into my manual GTI, which I'll...
That's how I'd put the GTI a bit unremarkable, deja vu... Oh and Karl Gehling, head of PR.
Yup the humble People's Car VW badge now mingles with the like of Mercedes et al... Price-wise that is...
All of us journos already have, Karl just keeps saying that he is confident in the product selling well at that price. Well, what did we expect him to say??? We told them that we want a GTI to really...
Completely agree, couldn't have put it better!
Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch, aber ich bin nicht sehr gut!
Completely agree, the Golf has that legendary formula and after all, nobody can come close in terms of all-round user-friendliness and usability. Many have tried, but the Golf is still the one to...
Das wäre richtig, würde ich sagen. Aber ich denke immer noch, dass es zu teuer ist.
I've got the car until midday tomorrow, if anyone has any questions for me, or if you need me to dissect something, let me know. But these roads are just... STUNNING! I want to live here!

...
But almighty Head Office does set prices, trim levels and the like... :)
And I can only imagine how much they will stuff up the R...
I must say that I'm really disappointed with VW Australia, the new GTI is so not worth it over the regular Golfs. The price difference is just too much. I know that the GTI is better than ever and...
A few nice videos...

Oh and the first thing that hit me was how bad the standard brakes are, they fade too easily unlike the larger ones I tried on the PP back in Germany... I'll have more stuff up tonight, VWA just gave...
