Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Mattlock]

There seems to be a few of us who think the Great Dynaudio Delete Debacle of 2017 exists solely due to the existence of the Wolfsburg edition, especially as it's available on --every-- other model. IMHO, as soon as the "Wolfies" run dry, Dynaudio will suddenly appear on the Rs option list.

Wouldn't surprise me. When I ordered my 7R at the back end of 2015, I was told that if I wanted a blue car (which I did), I would have to wait for the Wolfie production run to end as it had priority on the lines. Now, I was never able to confirm if that was porkies or not but I asked 2 QLD dealers and got similar-ish responses plus a national fleet. Just couldn't source one quickly.

Therefore, the Dynaudio supply being constrained due to the Wolfie is quite likely IMO.

The whole 'virtual cockpit' thing (as in, navigation where the speed dials used to be) - is that a standard feature, or do you need the DAP?

I've also been told 'expect Q1 2018' from 1 dealer for new R orders.

As in your delay means your car won't come until March?

Awesome. That does look really good. I think I prefer the wheels on my 7R though.

Well done, Eyes. Looks "Lapiz" to me. And I like the "Spielbergs", despite popular opinion - a little less standout than full chrome finish, but a lot easier to keep clean.
