Spoke to VW Dealer in Brissy this morning. They are confident of having the 1st GTI MK6's for sale by November 09.

Still no confirmation on the R20T though. R20T due for release Sept 09 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

That's right. And BCGTI should be doing a VWW member a favour and reading their GTI information at AUSmotive.com:

i think i'm sold, 5 door dsg "family" car for the wife until they release the new awd platform. Just spoke to a dealer, fivedock barloworld, and he reckons a base model would be about 43k or just above that.

From the pics the interior looks alot better than the mkv.

VW Southport told me they'd be about $400 more than the old one about two weeks ago.

Considering that Volkswagen has managed to price the MK6 Golf's the same as the MKV's that they've replaced, I hope that they can do the same for the new GTI's. Having said that, from looking at the configuration tool on the UK site, there are several new options which will allow the MK6 to be more expensive than that MKV depending on your desires.

But all I can say is bring on Q4!
Although the R20T is also rather tempting.

TMR reckons the GTI will be here in 2009.
