    Anyone hearing anything different?
    Oh dear. Haven't heard back from my dealer, might chase them next week about it. I surely hope not! Tears if it's true.

    I take it they would produce all the Wolfsburgs at the same time in one run in the factory? In that case all of us would be in the same boat! (Literally)

    I'll check on mine next week when I'm in picking up my current R with its new clutch

    That time frame suits me fine as my current loan is up in January.

    Have you been given a price? Can PM me if prefer. I haven't got a price yet.
    Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
    Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD
    Previous - Mk 6 R manual; Mk 7 R manual; Passat 130 TDi Wagon. Mk 7.5 Wolfsburg Wagon.

    No price. He doesn't want to talk price until it's on the boat.

    That's loco.

    Feb's only a few months away from perhaps a mid-year spruce of the Golf range.

    If you can't enjoy the exclusivity of the newest Golf for near a year, then it's a turn off imo.

    If there's any "spruce" in Feb, it'll be a lengthened indicator stalk and improved tyre valves, after all the tech added with the ".5".

    Golf R 7.5 Performance Pack shown at Geneva Motor Show

    Most of you have probably seen the Golf R 7.5 PP shown at the Geneva Motor Show by now, but I came across these photo's of the Recaro race seats that appear to be fitted to a similar coloured R 7.5, which also has the Akrapovic exhaust with the black coloured tips instead of the silver tips normally shown.

    The seats look incredible, but I have not seen them as an option on the list for the R 7.5. Does anyone have any info on them? I note the yellow pin stripe on the seats, both front and rear, so I assume that this stripe will be colour matched to whichever colour you chose for your R? These seats have been available in previous versions of R's, but not to this high standard before.

    The R at the Geneva MS is also showing the carbon mirror caps and the full black roof.

    They're amazing. I love the yellow and how they've integrated the colours in the seats. I suspect the price would be out of this world too.

    I've placed a deposit for wolfsburg hatch, was told delivery October but from various dealers I have heard nov-dec, jan-feb. Assuming all 300 units are produced in one go, I am thinking 1st quarter 2018 (jan-mar) for delivery

    There is no way I could see anyone getting FL S3 privately under 65k.

    For me I'd need to get 7.5 for 55-57 to choose it over the S3 sedan. At 10k price difference I'd choose 7.5R but 5k or less I'd select S3 sedan every single time!
    Excuse my ignorance buy why such a discount with leasing? Just interested as it may make it a more viable option for us in the future if getting such a discount RRP.
