Polo GTI at Sydney Motor Show. Interior included.

You believe that? Why the hell would they "release" a car 7 months before you can buy one?

Because we are OZ, not exactly top of their head...

Having said that, UK only got their first couples recently.

Heard on the grapevine Polo GTI prices are not being released until December. Anyone more detail than that?

[Fixxxer]

I was hoping to test drive one and get pricing info by mid-November, and haven't got a call yet.
But it wouldn't surprise me to see it blow out to December.

dropped into bill buckle vw at brookvale, the salesman said they are receiving a car by the end of november, and no word on pricing
there was a ****hot white golf gti with black 18" motorsport rims tho

I stopped in at Solitaire today and they have this parked out the front.

Salesman said that no-one was allowed to drive it and that it is a "media only" car and as soon as the Adelaide press have driven it the Polo and the R to the left will be trucked back to NSW.
He had no idea this guy, he tried to tell me that the shallow boot was because of the 4wd!!!! And that it had the new DSG full system!?

Looks very nice though.

[GTi Crow]

Shallow boot - isnt it because unlike the Golf the Polo GTI carries a full size spare?

Is that at their Medindie site? Not sure I can get past there in the next couple of days.

[Scruffy]

Yeah, its at Medindie.

The GTI at the Motorshow had a space saver... But i presume they leave space to store the full sized flat under the floor.

[GTi Crow]

Maybe they have changed for this model and I didn't pick it up, but the previous Polo GTI definitely has a full sized spare.

The polo GTI has a raised floor in the boot because that is where the battery is located. The battery is in the boot to better distribute the weight of the car. The spare is a space saver.
