GTI 's in south africa comes in all colours.

here, in australia, you have to actually wait for your car to be built, but the great thing about australia, that you dont get in other countries, is that the powers that be have decided that we're not psychologically ready just yet to deal with more than a few colors, so even though we have to wait for the cars to be built, we still cannot specify what color from the VW range we want, unless it's black, silver, white, or red

I think Toyota and Subaru might have just released the car you're talking about Scott

grrrr the BRZ thing? the subaru sti version they unveiled is.... i dont like the proportions.

there's the clio, the DS3, and now ford are going to be bringing out a fiesta ST with a 1.6T. i want VW to bring out a proper driver's hatch - bare bones, simple, light, no gimmicks, big feedback and feel. otherwise, they're going to lose a lot of potential polo gti/ R buyers to ford, i'd suspect.

Don't we basically get the same colours as the rest of the world? The only extra colour I can see in Germany is plain black.

well if you go to the UK site they have a ISHTPILE more colors for the golf gti, for example, to choose from.

Also Mazda has made murmurs of the RX-7 Returning, if that happens sorry to say fellow Watercoolers i'm snapping that baby up!

- work on chassis both from a cornering perspective, as well as a feel-through-the-steering-wheel perspective

They'd need to upate the front suspension to Revoknuckle/HiPer Strut/'whatever Renault call their version' arrangement and I don't see VW spending that amount of money on a Polo. On a Golf/Sirocco, maybe (we can only hope they get into this area)

See Ford RevoKnuckle and GM HiPer Strut Explained - Tech Dept. - Car Reviews - Car and Driver (also shows why reducing wheel offset for 'stance' isn't a great idea)

Or a 3-door Comfortline. If you are reading this VAG, get with the program!

I wouldn't call it a ISHTPILE more - lol... An extra grey and blue and non-metallic black.
You have to go to Skoda (Fabia RS especially) to see a decent colour pallette. All the colours are good.
