MKVI Section?

[pinzvidz]

Howdy Mods, when can we have a MKVI section in the Group Room to play in? I swear I'm going to be the first to place an order for a MKVI GTI, and I'm gonna need somewhere to discuss! :)

they cant build mk5s forever. VW are just taking off again in Australia. I doubt they would abandon us now.

[balkanac]

i hope not. I hope we get the GTi-R (the mane sounds soo much like a Pulsar), i wouldn't mind one of those :biggrin:

Thats true, some cars also just won't be profitable to sell here, like the Phaeton and most likely the Scirocco.

This is just my opinion; every car section we have is for existing cars. The MkVI isn't out yet, so shouldn't we wait for it to come out, THEN make a section for it so people can discuss the real thing instead of speculations etc?

[Sharkie]

I've been told (by a normally reliable source) that once VW has sold out the MK5 GTI (remember production has ceased), they will selling the Scirrocco untill the Mk6 GTI becomes available in 12-18months. Apparently they are in Oz already standing in the storage yards awaiting release to the market.

Audi has the same deal currently with the S3, selling limited edition 3 doors before the facelifted new 3 and 5 doors hit the market.

Any prices on the scirocco or specs yet? Im guessing they will price higher than gti but lower than r32? :idea:

I am waiting to see spy pics of the A6 Jetta,as well as next Golf Variant/Jetta Sportwagon.

[phaeton]

We won't see any shots till next year Anthony.

My bet is to keep an eye on China ;)

So where does the speculation get posted until then?

The Mk6 will be coming to Australia, so why not have a section for it now?

I know your post is a month or so old, but 5 door S3 Sportwagons are now available. My understanding is facelifted 3 door S3s won't be available in Australia until early 2009.

Pics of both can be seen on AUSmotive.

On Ausmotive :biggrin::wasntme:

[pinzvidz]

BUMP... :duh:

C'mon guys... how long does it take to get a MKVI section up and running?!?!? My local dealer rang me yesterday to let me know that it won't be too far away now to place a factory order for a new GTI. As I said, I'll be the first!

[Mrk_Mickey]

This is only a suggestion thread, and not a ''do this cos I want it'' thread. If they don't want it up there, the mods won't do it.

[schoona]

+1 on Mickey for hte point above.

There is speculation on the Rocco in the Rocco section (only because it is not divided into section because of the small percentage of the market it captures), why can't it be included with the Golf platforms ?

I believe Liam's information correct. It is/will be coming. If dealers are almost ready to take orders, options/spec sheets can be posted up and entice more buyers.

Winner for me :)

The Golf VI will be launched at the Melbourne Motor Show (http://www.ausmotive.com/2009/01/22/golf-vi-to-be-launched-at-melbourne-international-motor-show.html), which starts on 27 February. Assuming the Golf VI is launched on the opening day, the Golf VI will be on sale in Australia in just 31 days.

Must be time for a Golf VI forum now? :)

I reckon sixfootchoc's spotted post should be the first entry!

[Lima]

Less than a month to go...

:jackinthebox:

[Mischa]

yeah lets see the section for it plz :)

[Lima]

The Volkswagen Australia website is even taking registrations of interest for the Mk6.

Is it time yet? :mowlawn:

[phaeton]

Yes its time :D

[The_Hawk]

You asked for it... enjoy :D
