I don't see anything exciting enough about the new model to make me want to trade the GT in on one. Besides the fact they haven't even brought out a replacement model yet anyway, sorry but I prefer my MK V.
Rumour is Russ is that they are resurrecting the GTD and it will be a twin sequential turbo.
But it will be de-tuned to not out-do the GTI of course...
Yeah I heard that, I still wouldn't race out and buy one though, besides the amount of money you would lose in depreciation, I personally prefer the look of the MK V anyway, and IMO these things go so well, I can't see the point in changing too much about them. I'm "as happy as" with mine anyway and that's all that matters to me
I'm not really a fan of those foglights.
That picture looks like it is from the US, hopefully we will get a different bumper with the number plate recess like the current Golf. The black mount looks silly, at least it fits in with the black grille on the Mk V GTI.
Overall I still prefer the verticle/Audi style grille (GTI Mk V/R32/Jetta/Passat etc) over the horizontal style of the GTI Mk VI.
On a Mk V I'd take Euro plates (still haven't got around to ordering mine...) however I think I'd put slimlines on a Mk VI.
And Russ a sequential turbo would have no lag, anywhere. Still, like you I prefer the MKV look at this early stage....
Perhaps a transplant down the track!
Yeah Greg that would be nice, maybe down the track if the design becomes a little more to my liking I might consider it, then again I said in another post a while back, I think my next purchase may be a Tiguan in a few years time. Maybe if they could put a sequential turbo diesel in that with say 140 + killer wasps and around 400 Nm stock mmm......... now that would be tempting
I said to Julia only last week that a Tiguan would be our next car when we revert to owing only one VW. Still quite a few years to go yet though.

I think it would make a great retirement vehicle although I also still have a few years to go until I reach that status. I'm sure by then VW will have something probably even more tasty for us to sink our teeth into

Perhaps the MK7 GTI...?
