Golf GT in Oz?

[pinzvidz]

hey i emailed VW and this is the email they sent me back


Dear Tony,



Re: Golf GT enquiry



Thank you for contacting us through the Volkswagen Australia Website, we appreciate it. It is fantastic to hear that you are interested in the outstanding Golf .

In reply to your email enquiry, I can advise you that the Golf GT with the new 1.4 litre Twin charged engine (turbo and supercharged) will be released to the Australian market. The Golf GT will be launched towards the end of the year and will be a limited release of 500 Cars only and I can confirm that all vehicles have been pre sold.

Regards,

Adam

Agreed

I wonder if GT TDI is coming ????

[datracer99]

Just noticed a mention in a Wheels mag that GT will be priced at $38,490

If that's the RRP the for 3 door then for $1500 more you can have a GTI.

I know the GT is good, but $38990 doesn't sound like value to me.

Our dealer in Hobart got 3 the other day. They haven't detailed them yet so a drive isn't ready yet.

The article states $34990 ... which is considerably better. Might go test one.

According to my tame VW salesman (who is being very nice to me at the moment as I recently brought a new T5 van from him and am also considering a new VW sedan or wagon), VWoA are only bringing in the 125Kw 1.4 petrol motor version, not the 125Kw TDI. He did say that they are going to put the 125Kw TDI motor into the Passat later this year (not sure if this replaces the current 104Kw TDI motor or is an extra option).

Also I have heard that Skoda may be bringing in the Octavia vRS models (including wagons ?) with either the 147Kw TFSI (ie Golf GTI petrol motor) and 125Kw TDI motors, supposedly for less money than the Golf GTI. Don't know how much less, and don't know when. They don't seem to be making much progress with their dealer network so far, so their planned Oct 2007 release date looks a bit optimistic to me. I'll keep hoping for a fast, reasonably priced VAG Golf sized wagon, even if it doesn't have a VW badge

I understand they (VW Australia) announced to the dealer network this week you can now order the 125kw GTi / TDi and they will be on dealers floors in a few months time.

Excellent news!

What's a 125kw GTI?

[phaeton]

Guy means GT TSI

Thanks for info Greg I have a feeling the 125kW TDI in the Passat will replace 103kW TDI for 08MY

Well that's what I hoped he meant.

[Guy_H]

Actually I meant the GTI version of the TDI

With this engine 2.0-litre TDI 170PS

They actually call it the GT Sport in the UK....

LOL get the writing right Guy its GT TDI and GT TSI ::pokes tongue::

Weird GT Sport but then again they have combined their Sport level with GT perhaps VGA will comeout with a GT Comfortline or GT Sportline

[Guy_H]

I think the Pom's make it up as they go. Took ages to find it on the VW UK website.

Anyway - great news we can order it!

Yeah can't wait to see what your team come up with
