GTI & GTD
From looking at the kataloge und preislisten fur der neue Golf GTI and GTD, one finds:
In Germany:
- GTI prices are up 3.8% on average over the outgoing GTI; und
- The GTD appears to be a GTI with the 125TDI (CRD) engine in place of the 155kw TFSI (and costs €825 more than the GTI).
Amongst the options for both GTs, an 8-way power driver's seat for €275 ($500).
With relatively few differences between the Mk VI and Mk V GTIs, and a price increase on the cards, Mark V resale values should be relatively unscathed by the Mk VI GTI's arrival (with some preferring the more distinctive look Mk V GTs enjoy over the cooking versions).
Virtual GTI
Also, for those who cannot wait to drive the new GTI, Drive reports today that there is a virtual slot car track with 1:43 scale Mk VI GTI at www.gtiproject.com.
