GTi 3 door & R wagon confirmed.

VW set to boost its performance portfolio with returning GTI three-door and R wagon.......

Good call on the 3 door GTI option IF they bring it in at a sharp price aka low $40s (rrp) / listed price under $40.

The article preceding that one also suggested the R 3 door could make a return - possibly slipping under $50k listed.

No surprise on the wagon - that one was always going to come back as a regular model as I pointed out to the 'limited edition' guys a long time ago. It will be back on my radar down the track as I need the load space..

However, none are likely to happen before the debut of the facelifted Golf ‘7.5’, which is expected to be unveiled at the Paris motor show in September and is due in Australia in the second half of next year.

From the article

According to Volkswagen Group Australia (VGA) product marketing manager Jeff Schafer, the moves are designed to keep interest in the GTI buoyant, especially in the face of high-profile rivals such as the Ford Focus RS, Peugeot 308 GTi, and Renault Megane Sport.

They are all 5 door only.

I may have bought a Golf R or Clubsport if they were available in 3 door
