It's here!

These are likely all VWA press cars - registered in the same batch, and using the plate numbering that VWA uses in their marketing. Which also explains why they've been seen thus far only in Sydney.

Yep, probably getting a good run-in by staff for launch day.
I've spotted a few on my drive home, looks crisp and taut on the road.

I'm guessing there are a whole heap of these here now. Seeing them quite often.

Well, looks like 3 spec levels have been seen.

The one with steel wheels/hubcaps (1.2 TSI?)
The one with 16 inch (white) alloys (90TSI)
The two 17 inch alloys (104TSi)

Looks like the levels seen in UK (S, SE, GT)
Perhaps trendline, comfortline, highline

Sighted this one about two weeks ago in Engadine but finally snapped it again in pretty much the same spot. Was a petrol, likely a 90TSI.

nice to see the rear bumper is the same shape as the gti. as in it looks like / \ instead of \ /

[Tigger]

I snapped this today at the trucking company holding yards....

Not long now!!!

They're now at Gold Coast VW, saw them on display this afternoon.

I pulled up next to a brand spanker on South Road, Brighton. White. I must say, externally, I was totally under whelmed. Front on it looks almost identical to the Mk6. Reading the reviews I'm sure it's a much better car, but when you're paying 50k, do you want a car the looks the same?

50k!?? What are you buying? The standard specs are already quite decently spec-ed.

The Golf has always been an understated look. It's never a look at me in the way a Megane RS is.

Fwiw the interior where you would spend most of your time is definitely special.

Looking at the plates of all syd sightings, looks like corporate cars as all the plates are WSD 16* or WSD 17*, so all probably registered at same RTA office on same day/time.
