Golf R -v- Golf GTI

Or stop it fullstop as it is polluting a reasonable thread with crap.

I dispute the reasonable thread component. It is full of ramblings of imaginary neighbours who take 24 months to make a decision on what car to buy and then refunding dealers.

Some dealers says European makers, hit by the continent’s economic woes, have pushed too much capacity into the Australian market and are encouraging dealers to register cars that haven’t yet found buyers.

Seems to be an issue with new MK6 GolfGTI where excess stock is sitting on showroom floor & excess stock being registered as demo stock in an effort to increase volume through discounting. Many good deals to be had, but killing resale value of current MK6 GTI and R owners. Such is life. Most Euro makes are apparently having this issue. There's going to have to be some European manufacturing plant closures in the near future if GFK turns out to be a decade long depression, which it probably will be in Europe.
