Golf Mk7 Officially Revealed !! (Now with First Drive Reviews on page 8)

[Tobes_WIR35]

Yeah, I'm still undecided about the 'Rocco. Sometimes I see one and think "DAMN!!!" and other times I think "damn...."

I don't like the green at all, blue is a bit meh, Black, White and Grey look okay, especially with the black Talledegas.

I'd probably consider a white one with black wheels, sunroof and dark tinted windows...

also the latest beetle I suppose which is apprently just landed in the country. not sure we're getting the hot gti version that they originally touted.

looked pretty mean with the big wheels and chopped roof

but no not for me I dont think hehehe

At least not a yellow or red one. There were a couple of darker meaner looking colours with vinyls iirc.

[Tobes_WIR35]

I would be up for one of these (as long as it's got the 155TSI or 188TFSI engine)

I think we're only getting the 118TSI with packages ala up!

Sometimes I wonder what kind of spuds run the marketing department at VWA. Our portion of golf GTIs sold compared to basic models is so high compared to the rest of the world. It's clear we like the performance models. Just bloody give them to us!

Damn. Friends in FB just posted pics of the VII that's already launched in Singapore where it's also the same side of the road as here. What's taking so long for us?

[Tobes_WIR35]

I honestly think that VWA are a bit simple. That could be why. Their customers know more about the cars they'll be importing than they do. When we were wanting to buy an Up! VWA had virtually no information whatsoever until the day the car was released in showrooms, and even then it was very sketchy. They don't pass on information to their dealers, and their dealers don't seem to be too interested in finding out. They are lucky they're backed by such a global powerhouse and a great product, otherwise they would be up the creek.

I feel like making a decision today. I know, let's decide that the Golf 103TDI is no longer available with manual transmission. Another glass of Chardonnay anyone?

I''ve heard this many times... Does anyone know if there are figures?

[Tobes_WIR35]

I have read in several motoring journalist's articles that the global average is about 5%. Ours is 25%. I cannot provide source references unfortunately.

There's a reference here confirming your percentage.
