Managed to configure it up to 35.5k out of curiosity (recaro's etc) and then VW pulled the application as they've apparently not factored in the panoramic roof. I like it but there's so much else out there at the price. Sure it'll sell like hot cakes regardless. We'll see if VW stick to their limited run too of 1000 I think it is.

I'm considering it, but for not much more money I'm more tempted by the R.

FOR SALE!

Are they proposing a limited number ? Haven't seen it in black and white anywhere ??

A couple of car magazines have claimed it's a limited build of 1000. I contacted a dealer who claims it is a limited build (but didn't specify a number).

It doesn't seem to say it anywhere on VW's official documentation visible to the public that I have found, and neither the Edition 30 or 35 were limited build, so I would be surprised if it was.

That said, given that I can't purchase one for another year or so (and I do quite fancy one), I'm guessing this time it'll actually be a limited build and I'll miss out lol. That's often how my luck goes!

Don't forget you can also get £4K discount on the R through Drive the Deal. Making it was cheaper than the Edition 40.
