Mk7 Golf GTI Launched in Europe

[Golf7]

I find it's weird that VW Press Office is trumpeting this as the Golf R Concept, like I said before... Good pick-up guys!

Nope, Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft in Wolfsburg...

And one more thing with the local R, Anke has been hinting at what she said would be "modest" price reductions... Whatever that means

Does anyone know if we are going to get the half leather/cloth with alacantra option available in some European markets? It looks great, not available in the UK though

Oh and what's better the price in Australia is confirmed for a RRP of $40,990 without the performance pack and $43,990 with the performance pack.

This is what I don't like/understand. The PP is only 900 pounds in the UK, why so much more here? This will pretty much put the GTI out of the running for my next car (unless I wait a while and then try and find a 3dr manual with PP used )

There are some significant changes to the engine in the linked Press Kit information. The engine has both direct and port injection.

Correct me of I am wrong but I think Golf7 said the plain is the pp would have 19 inch where the normal has 18 inch

19 inch are not standard in Europe on the pp

That makes a bit more sense but TBH I think I'd prefer the 18's oh well can't change that if that's their specs

I am so with you cookie, the 18 inch looks way better, If the 19 inch are standard on the pp, I will be trying to get one ordered with the 18's
