ive just seen a black on in the dealers. had the same leather seats as the existing r32s and gtis!? apart from the headrests.

Now, i love the existing mk5 headrests in GTI but look at the mk6 ones.
its almost as if the designer fell asleep halfway thru drawing them!

they are AWFUL!!!!!

Didn't like the colour to to be honest, he was almost in traffic so it didn't really jump out if you know what I mean.
Have to take a trip down the dealers sometime soon!

Do you mean 'driven'?

I saw one in Guildford the other day, I really like them - very W12 650 looking, especially in white.

i rate the mk6 over the standard mk5s! look so much more classy!

havent seen my first mk6 gti yet though!

you know VW wants just over £1000 for xenons on a mk6 gti now! unbelievable! BMW 3 coupes have them as standard!

Yes 'DRIVEN', thank you for the grammar correction.
Like to see the nice bright blue they advertise in the pics on the net etc, but when building my spec on VW I couldn't see that colour option!?? (only shadow blue)  :surprised:

BMW's are over priced to start with though, so swings and roundabouts!

Strange reading this as just had a call from my local VW dealership to say they had the new GTI in their showroom now - but can't be test driven until the 22nd - think he was a bit put out I didnt wet my pants at the news!

Gotta pop in for an Air Con Service so will give it the once over then!

I only got a call because when I was last at the dealers around xmas having some warranty work done they were pestering me about the MK6's then imminent launch and I fobbed them off saying I would only be interested in the MK6 GTI thinking it was a good 12 months away - they obviously put me on a database for showing the slightest interest lol hence the call!

Ill still go down there, but no doubt the sales team will only let me look over if I'm a potential buyer, which i'm not(yet).

Just been down to my dealers and they've got a white one in.  Must say it does look better in the flesh, than in photos.  The wheels look much better with the black inserts, but they really should have come up with a new design, given that it's a new model.  Nice car, shame about the price.
