Resale on the V6 Passat wasn't that fantastic.

Better DSG box in the Tiguan.

No real differentiators for the 206TSI from the standard Passat. It's not like the R36. It's just a higher powered Passat with AWD.

Other than the biscay blue and grey grill, that's pretty much all the R36 was. The 206 TSI R Line is faster than the R36 too.

I did some numbers, and to get a Tiguan up to the same spec level as the 206 would cost you more as a final figure.

Everything is an option on the Tiguan, where as the 206 comes with everything included for est rrp of $59k sedan and 61k wagon with only option being metallic paint and the pano roof.

So both new models are on the website then?

Just checked... So it is...

Passat Wagon 206TSI R-Line 6-Speed DSG: $59,990 plus on roads. Not including metallic paint (I want white anyway) or sunroof (also not something I want.

Don't bother downloading the brochure, still no 206TSI specs...

Hey guys, great to finaly be apart of the thread i have been wathcing closely :).

When you say "everything is an option on the tiguan, where as the 206 comes with everything included" does that mean that the 206 has the DAP already included?
Do we have an option for multimedia screens like the uk or is the 206 and tiguan r line already equiped with the discover nav pro?

MY17 brochure (via download a brochure) and MY17 specs (via specifications) are available on Volkswagen Australia's website. Still waiting for Model and Pricing as well as Build and Price to display MY17 models and prices correctly.

There are already a couple popping up for sale on CarSales ie. sedan priced at $64,903 and wagon at $67,032 ... whoa!

Damn, I hope they're not that much! It would make a lot of sense to try keep them sub 64k to avoid LCT......

Those prices on carsales are driveaway prices though, so there's a few k of dealer delivery, stamp duty and rego costs..

Timing for me will be nice. June next year is when we need a second car! :D
