It's official, GTI & GTD

[Breno]

There is no embargo so here goes. They have both been certified for Australia.

GTI

GTD

[philthy]

nice detective work!

[Anfield]

Excellent!!!

I was hoping the GTD would also be coming out here. Hopefully at the same time as the GTi?

I wish they would hurry up and release prices etc

[Lima]

Thanks for the links.

1.6 Diesel listed too!

[Coaster]

1.6 Diesel listed too!

But only in Trendline... I'd prefer small engine, big features.

[aeon]

hmm... only a 3 door GTI, no 5 door model? (same with the GTD).

[85turbo]

guess i better start saving.

i see a CW 3 door GTD in my future.......

Jason.

I'm surprised VWA isn't worried the GTD will affect GTI sales - the way they think EVERY car will!

You can get a comfort pack on a trendline to take it up to the same equipment level as a comfortline

[RECRUT]

^^ Minus the 16" alloys, rear seat arm rest, comfort seats.

Apparently the 5 Door Golf 1.6 TDI Trendline w/DSG will be $35571 Drive away (full retail).
Can be optioned to Comfortline for $2200 (possibly same details as taking a 90TSI from Trendline to Comfortline)
Cars should be in dealerships within 6 weeks.

That's with the 77Kw version, not the 90Kw TDI engine.

DSG appears to be 7 speed.

$35571! when you can drive away in a 90 TSI for $27,000??!! No sale here.

Totally agree, although remember that's full retail with 7 speed DSG, with full Dealer Delivery added in.
You'd reasonably expect to drive away for $30k to $31500 range.
That makes it $3000-$4500 above a similarly spec'd 90TSI; about the gap between a 118TSI & a 103TDI.

With these new "transparent" gov"t ordered drive away prices, the above figure doesn't actually show what the RRP is.
You could always work backwards if you know the Gov't & On road charges.

For $30,000ish I could be in but not for $35,000. And as you point out that's without the 10-12% discounts that have been around for the other models. The Chylld spreadsheet will eventually reveal all.....
