Golf MK7 / MKVII Speculation / Pre-Release Information Thread

[markwid]

Is it worth the to order a MY11.5 MK6 now? Or wait it out for the MK7?

What Corey said above...A mk7 GTI is likely to be 3 years out -> willing to wait that long?

haha very good reasoning there!

i think i will take that advice and continue with my order on the GTI then, and very likely trade in for MK7 R when it hits the Aussie shores!

my first car is my current car (05 TDI) and i absolutely love it, could only step up to a high end Audi or Mercedes from this point.

there are just so many little things that make you appreciate the car so much, others dont know what the're missing i just dont get it it when i see people driving around Hyundai's and Mazdas haha, even the entry Polo is of higher quality and style.. thats concludes my 'thinking out loud' segment for tonight

Good call. Don't forget, even when mk7 R hits OZ shores, to get a custom order, it may take another 12 months wait...

hmm these long waiting times i find are ridiculous.. would take less time to take a holiday in germany for the time its built and ship it in personally haha

Looks like a late 2012 release as a 2013 model.

I'd take anything caradvice say with a grain of salt these days. Most of the time they're simply printing overseas articles with out any relevance or updating for Australia.

How exactly would this story require "updating" for Australia?

Some input from VGA one when we're likely to see it
Plus variants such as the Bluemotion electric etc, whether they're even going to be considered for our market.

I thought more people were interested in the timing rather than the model mix.
If a later 2012 release for Europe is on the cards you would expect regular Golf variants to flow through to Australia by mid 2013 at the latest.

Maybe R owners who order in 11 will see their cars once this one comes out
