Golf GTI Adidas - Limited Edition Coming To Australia

[blanch0b]

i agree - if i were buying my car again id look at this one as for $3k extra you actually get quite a bit extra, i do really like those wheels...

however i couldnt bring myself to be sitting on adidas seats for the next few years... TACKY!!

I get the feeling that we are all threading on thin ice here, trying hard to be politically correct and not offend Adidas trekkie wearers. Nothing wrong with them...absolutely...

apart from their mullets - and they always seem to be hanging around bowling alleys which seems odd to me....

hmmm...good point, i don't recall adidas sponsoring bowling.

[VooWoo!]

I'm looking forward to the Heineken version =)

Hopefully you'll get a free case beer with that, which you'll try to finish on the way back from the dealer...

"But officer, they came with the car".

I want those carpet mats with red piping! Has anyone heard where we can get them for RHD cars.

I'm not quite sure why you're posting that question in THIS thread, since the matts in the Adidas don't have red piping (they do have a red line, maybe stitching?, around the inside of the piping though). But yes, we've always known where you get those mats from. From your VW Dealer...

wow.... make someone feel LESS welcome.

Yeah... agreed. Between indicators and floor mats, Coreying is clearly having a bad week.

I have a set of those floor mats. For LHD! I ordered them whaen I ordered my new RHD headlights from overseas, expecting the mats to also be for RHD. WRONG!

Will be checking this out when it's time to replace the McJetta. Mainly for the white, the lights, the wheels and the gearknob.

I'd remove the "Adidas" inscription on the B Pillar in a heartbeat.

Other than VW & Adidas being German, what is the connection?
My Pirelli came with some Pirellis.

... *looks at his ugg boots...* *calls Holden design dept*
New look Barina is on the cards fellas. Expect sheepskin.

New Golf GTI Model released !

Guys

Maybe I am a bit slow on the uptake but at the Sydney Motor Show, VW released a new GTi variant that os an aesthetic makeover in conjunction with Adidas.

There is quiote a few visual enhancements (Leather bolsters in the seats, wheels, different gear knob etc AND "R" LED TAILLIGHTS !) and also things like MDI & Bluetooth included. Price is $45,990 + on road costs for 5 Door with DSG. On the surface of it, it sounds like a pretty good deal but my initial impression is that the seats don't look as good as the standard ones.

Anyway, here's a link to an article of the full details:

Apologies if this is "old news" to everyone

Yeah this is a tad dated.. you are bang on the money about the seats.. but if you like the idea of some cosmetics for the money then you are going to be happy

You're very slow on the update!

Please use the search function before creating a new thread. I mean seriously, it takes you about 1/10th the time to type "Adidas" into the "Search this forum" function on the right hand side of any forum listing, than it does for me to have to merge two threads and go through this process....

VW released a new GTi variant that is an aesthetic makeover in conjunction with Adidas.

Having just completed a Master of Business degree with a module on New Product Development, I can tell you there are well documented processes at play, one of those being Product Lifecycle.. Given the Mk6 GTI has been in production long before we got it here, VAG would be looking at the possible ways to extend the lifecycle, and co-branding is one such vehicle (no pun) .

Given the fallout of the GFC is still affecting global markets, VW may have turned to local organisations for this co-branding support..

PS.. I also found that NPD can also be an acronym for something else.. google it
