You can register your interest in the GTI now on the Volkswagen Aust website. Hopefully there is a drive day invite like the Mk 6 had.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread
10 grand more!!?! The added stuff wouldn't even add that much considering what's standard on the UK specComment

So base on this, it looks like thegolf R will be about 60k. Hmmmm an Audi s3 from 59kor a M135 from 65k would be a much better buy!Comment

how they would they squeeze in the gti PP and R into that 50-60k price range
VW cant possibly be that silly right...?Comment

The GTI was never going to be priced under 40 grand when the TSI and TDI are close to 40 on the road. As they come standard with sat nav, Bluetooth etc etc the GTI was always going to have these as standard as well. In this day of cars coming with more technology and gadgets with each new model and generally always cheaper technology, a stripped out GTI would never sell ( not in large numbers anyway). If they were Porsche they'd charge more for less like the 911 RS anyway! The Golf family is amazing value when compared to the Mk 6 now. I paid well over 50 grand for mine with heaps of options that look like being standard now and I don't want leather this time anyway. I'm worried we might not get the PP now though with the R coming ( which can't be priced too close to the Audi). You can't even buy a Commodore these days without heaps of gadgets as the technology is so much cheaperLast edited by irossiter; 05-09-2013, 12:37 AM.2010 Mk VI GTI-Red/Manual/Detroits/Park assist/Leather/MDI/Sunroof/Bi-Xenons/Chassis Control/Elec Driver's seat/5 Door/Tint

Where is Golf7... didn't he say a price cut? LOL
As for being competitive... what's the price of an A250 or BMW 125i?

How is it 10K more? They prices in the article are supposedly on road. Dealers are trying to flog 5 door Mk6 Gtis with 18 inch wheels for 45K+Last edited by pologti18t; 05-09-2013, 06:47 AM.Comment

Check out www.redbook.com.au for all the retail prices and the official cost of options, it's great research.Originally posted by pologti18t View Post
Isn't Audi meant to be competing with Merc and BMW though? The price difference between an R and a S3 is going to be pretty thin.Last edited by readerr0r; 05-09-2013, 07:09 AM.MY16 Octavia RS 162 Race Blue Combi

Re: Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread
Going by how they priced the car in the UK with all the additional gear it got there (xenon's, rear LEDs, discovery pro) and taking into account the saturated market and prevailing sentiment (VW's are unreliable) they would be crazy to price it any higher than the mk6.
If they price as indicated by caradvice I will be buying a focus st for 10k less or a gt86 gts for 7k less. I might even keep my mk6 for a bit longer.
