    Dear Volkswagen Australia - I hate you...

    Why did we only get 4 colours for the MKIV GTI?? We missed out on awesome colours like Imola Yellow, Indigo Blue etc etc.





    End Rant!

    if you think about european cars have only started to take off in the last few years on oz, and even still theres still the tendancy for aussies to buy a 'big aussie six' such as a commonwhore or a fagcon (sorry i just hate these cars)

    id love to see more 2dr hatches/sedans being released, however it will only happen when peoples buying habits start changing, people here still want somthing practical to throw the kids bikes in the back etc etc

    Yeah times are slowly changing. People are realizing they can get more kids bikes in a hatch than they can in a stupid sedan and its a nicer drive and uses half the fuel.
