Has anyone got any info on the MY17 Range???

quick google & I found this info on the MK8

MY16 got a mid model life update so MY17 will remain much the same. As for the Mk8; I guess if we look at the MY17 Tiguan that arrives soon we might get some idea of what to expect eg 8'' Media Screens as standard; active lane assist and automatic breaking as standard. Interior styling might be very similar as well. I have read that VW are looking at extending model life so there is a possibility we may not see the MK8 until 2019 -I hope i am wrong about this!

I managed to get a snap of this the other day.

For those who are wondering, the frameless design is already on the Polo facelift. I'm not a fan personally.

I still see a 'frame'?

Not much info about the virtual cockpit on any of the models. I heard various rumours that it might be included in the R-Line or Luxury packages, but nothing mentioned in that attachment And the AllTrack is excluded anyway...come on VW Australia, give the customer options!

So does anyone have more info or a photo of the new sport digital instrument display for MY17 Golf GTI and R models?

sport digital instrument is on the MIB2 just like the US market.

It has boost gauge, power and etc on the head unit

Ok thanks, not a big deal then...

I wonder if this is a big deal, I was hoping to buy a Golf Alltrack by June 30 so not sure if this is a big deal either?

2017 Volkswagen passenger cars updated: Added equipment, increased prices across the range

Looks underwhelming and no digital speedometer for performance models.

No more GTI Performance model according to that article - that's a fairly big deal. Especially considering they're suggesting that it's effectively replaced by the 40 Years, which is a limited edition model that'll be sold out soon enough.

On the upside, Dutch77 will be pleased to see the demise of the Santiago - not exactly his favourite wheel design...

That is an odd decision - unless the PP just becomes another tick box option like it is overseas.

No sadness over the demise of the Santiagos - the only thing uglier is that 40th, might be a decent drive but I would need a blind fold to approach or leave it each time.

Glad to see no digital speedometers as well.
