Percentage of Golf R to GTI purchases

Isn't there a new WRX due out ? Probably account for such few sales, waiting on the new vehicle to arrive.

Yep new wide body WRX is coming out this september you'd be nuts to buy one now. The sit not only is going to be offered in sedan also this year, but just lapped the nuirbring however it's spelt, in 7:55 secs.. That's how strong the new handling adjustments are.

But they still don't have a cure for the fugly exterior and low rent interior

Nürburgring

I find "The Ring" much easier!

Fugly exterior not so fugly anymore! but I still couldn't wake up to that everyday

Interior is still rubbish!

Yeah true but I think the kind of person that buys a WRX doesnt care about brand image and interiors as much, its all about the out and out performance baby! Which the WRX obviously owns on the VW R and GTI's.

But I bought my VW cause it is lower key, cheaper on petrol and insurance - Its 'smart' buy to be honest. Not necessarily a better one to all.

He Guys

So little Golfs were sold in July due to lack of stock around Australia. EOFS sale was amazing for Golf Tiguan and GTI. Leaving only a hand full of GTI DSG left not reported in the country.

Thanks for the feedback PhillipVWDealer. Sounds like there is still a large portion of owners who buy floor stock rather than factory orders

There seem to be a number of new low-specced GTIs on carsales from dealers.

I think that was true on the older WRX's but the current model has failed miserably at trying to be more refined.

On a side note, notice another colour change hehe. I got mine sorted in the nick of time

The new STI sedans have started making their way into the dealers already as a couple of dealerships here took delivery of some yesterday, as an avid WRX/STI fan and owner over the last 10 years the new model just doesn't cut it for me hence the change to VW.
