Reply With QuoteI've seen dates ranging from third quarter to fourth quarter, I don't think anything has been firmed up just yet. I suspect stock will be fairly tight early on so best to keep in touch with your dealers if you're looking for an early example.

Mk7 Golf GTD
Does anyone have any information on the Aus release date for the Golf MK VII GTD? I have had one dealer tell me it is to be released on the same date as the GTI and two other dealers have said there is no information available on when or whether it will be released in Australia at all...
cheers

Keep a close eye on the GTI news then, I would assume that the GTD specs will pretty much mirror it as per mk6.Thanks for that. Looking forward to seeing the Aus specifications before I commit
I've driven the mk6 GTD and thought it was a great car, if I was a higher mileage driver it might have gotten the nod..

My local dealer is under the impression the GTI and GTD will be around November. But there also suggesting that of you order something not in the available in the country on its release in November( maybe) you won't get it till April/May 2014. But its all just rumoured. We won't know until VW actually say so.

I've had one dealer tell me the GTI specs are due August or SeptemberI'll just have to be patient (assuming there will be an Aus MkVII GTD). The GTD is what I'd like to get given I clock a fair few km per week but if I have to wait until next year before it is released then I may just 'have' to get a GTI instead, ha

Guy seems to think the GTD has been canned for this market for now
Not long now..

Don't worry, they'll be landing a month after the GTIs.

How come Guy confirmed that the GTD will not arrive? The mk6 GTD was considered a sales flop in Australia.
