How this could be helpful, it doesn't even classifies as a joke!

Wasn't meant to be a joke. Anyone can do a search to find these figures.

Didn't you say, you made it up?

You obviously don't understand the <rolls eyes> at the end of the original statement. I was being facetious.

It was in response to Zeke post about whether the figures were "official".

[Transporter]

Ok, I Googled it and I can't find the prices you've posted in a reasonable time, so I took your comment as you made up the prices and then admitted that you made it up (meaning of course that I made it up, just to steer you up).

Where actually did you get these prices from? I can't see anything on the official Audi site.

[Hail22]

Audi has made a release statement over 3 weeks ago, the Audi A1 will not be called the S1 as it can't beat the Polo GTI in tests, from 0-100, safety, handling, price etc etc.

They will however be calling it something else (As the S brand is meant to be the sports prestige model lineups)

I think it looks like a car that was hit by a very large fry pan in the rear.

Try not to be a tosser . Those of us who post here hope that the information that is posted is helpful. If you have a source for the pricing name it otherwise naff off as it only dilutes the purpose of this site.

And on the new Polo GTI, VWA had better get there ass into gear and release pricing because it's becoming a pain in the ass. The delivery of the vehicle when you finally put your money down takes friggen 6 months plus and we sit around trying to decide on this future purchase with no pricing or configuration information . VWA get with the times its an information now world , we see pricing on the VWUK web site 5 months before VWA gets its sh*t together .
If you want pre orders and to sell more cars we need pricing and configurations 6 months before your official release date.If you cant deliver pricing and config with enough lead time peole arn't going to wait.
People are looking at leasing payouts and financing and all VWA can do is hold onto pricing for some wank of an official release date. Wake up VWA

Just back from Motorshow.... Red 5 door Polo Gti present. No options fitted as far as I can tell.
Things I noticed
1. Full multifunction steering wheel (controls on left and right spokes)
2. Nice piano black trim
3. Standard A/C similar to current Polo GTi. Control knobs look good actually. Better, to my eyes, than the full climatronic
4. Standard 310 stereo seems adequate and bassy enough. AUX in available
5. Jacky trim is like Mk6 Golf. Darker and better than current Polo GTI trim. Seats in general felt nicer as well.
6. Boot seem shallower. No false floor like the 1.2TSI.
7. Looks good in the red and 5 door.

No price given on car information board next to it.

They also had an Adidas Golf on show.... interior trim = ohhh dear

I just got back too. VW girl said official launch + pricing in November, available March. Audi girl told me $29k for an A1 (manual, no talk of options).

The Adidas GTI was absolutely terrible. The blue R on the other hand...

Oh, and the white Polo they had there looked awesome surprisingly. Haven't seen it in white before.

I think the new Polos look best in the white, red,yellow or the darker grey. The sharper lines seem to suit the bold colours.

I unfortunately spotted the Megane RS. Very stylish and available in a nice range of colours (are you listening vw!?!)
$45K on road for a Golf GTI competitor with 18 inch alloys and LSD as standard is great value. 186Kw as standard.

Fans will still go for the Golf GTI...

GTI is a better car package anyway

Well, judging by how many people were pouring over the Megane I think the enthusiast will jump at the Megane RS. It is hard core compared to the Golf GTi. It had a front suspension similar to the 60K Ford RS as well as a proper LSD. We only get the even firmer Cup suspension.

It's essentially a Scirocco R competitor turned up a notch.

Personally, I would not look at French cars. Too many bad experiences within the family.

I know of the good reviews about the suspension. I am sure its a pretty good car.

Just look and feels totally different to the VW, they look worlds apart in my opinion. The looks and the comfort are basically the 2 main things people look for in a car.

Not everyone needs to do high speed cornering, but the GTI can be practical at the same time.

If that was really the case then the manufacturers wouldn't build these cars
Believe it or not, there are people in the hot hatch market who see the Golf GTI as deathly dull.

One of the best cars I ever owner was French. It was a Peugeot 306 GTi-6. It had its foibles but my god it was a fantastic car to drive. JUst driving it to the local shops put a smile on your face

pologti18t; thanks for providing this info, greatly appreciated.

I can't understand why Volkswagen would release a standard GTi at the show and not show off the new lights, comfort pack, stereo given that people would be interested in these. Like everyone else, I am annoyed at Volkswagen loading a 'Show your Interest' brochure on the website in line with the motor show; when we were expecting pricing and potentially cars post the show.

As for the car at the show with the shallow boot; there wasn't any extra bracing items in the car was there? Not that you would need it 132kw, but just a thought.

[BR @ ON]

Are you referring to the Sydney International Motor Show happening now, William?

I am going today to check out the cars. But probably not going to spend too much time on the "people's car"

This is more a chance to check out the exotic stuff, like the brands I cannot afford in near future...
