No probs. I'll update that piece with 20 or so pics from VW Australia at some stage before I go to bed tonight too.

hey Corey, thanks for posting that info. finally, some clarification regarding the prices of the new pog.

it's very pleasantly surprising, for anyone who at any stage had toyed with the idea of updating into a new pog gti (including myself, briefly... rather briefly, lol).

i wouldnt have been surprised if it was north of $30k RRP...

[Corey_R]

Yeah. I was certainly expecting north of $30k RRP too

[srt]

STUNNED at the price! How are they able to sell it so cheap? I am tempted to buy one dammit.

[OilBurna]

Strong Aussie dolla?

[srt]

Pretty short sighted if that were the case, people will be pissed off if they have to raise prices... In any case, an absolute bargain.

New pics now available on AUSmotive, including a teaser of the leather/alcantara seats -> http://ausm.tv/20

Damn, looks the goods... nice balance of power, fuel consumption and price! I want one (though only after a test drive)... anyone know when they might start appearing in show rooms for a test drive?

ill be heading to bill buckle next tues to take a look. really interested to see how this 7 sp dsg works out as ive never been a fan of any sequential box, in fact, my last auto car i owned was over 12 years ago. maybe auto tech has improved

Anyone have photos of a black one?

I really can't decide between shadow blue or black.

White looks awesome too but I think it will get dirty too easily.

hmm.

White should be easier to keep clean than black (black shows up road grime very quickly - for me anyway)

The vinyl version of the interior looks ordinary. Cloth version looks great though

[walbjj]

Vinyl? I thought it was pleather.

suede + leather. i still prefer the old gti leather, but for what it was charging $2,500 i think that was abit too much for a pleather. they should put the same seats as the golf gti and leather styling too. oh well can't wait to see one in action!
