Mk7 Golf GTD

Guy seems to think the GTD has been canned for this market for now

Not long now..

That is the word from my local VW dealer as well.

If so, that leaves those wanting a TDI with a manual gearbox in the lurch. No Passat/Alltrack/Golf/Superb with a manual box. Only option is an outdated Octavia. I reckon that pretty poor form.

Just had the phone call. No GTD is coming to Australia.

Bye bye VW. My next car will not be one of yours. My money is going to BMW.

Big disappointment! Thought I could have my cake and eat it as well, sporty performance+fuel efficient= elevated SAF. How am I going to convince her that the GTI is worth the extra cost and fuel bill

Must think of a way...

Just wait till you drive the GTI and hear the rorty engine note, sweet turbo spool whine and DSG burp- something you never get in the GTD!

There was only $1,200 difference in list price on mk6, and you'd need to do a fair bit of driving to care for the extra economy provided by the diesel.. why not consider the mk6 anyway and save a few extra dollars to tune it up?

Wise suggestion, I'll have to give it some thought, however the lure of a shiny new mk7 may be too great...even if it is a TSI

The GTD is not dead here just yet. I repeat, we might still get it! VW is undertaking some market research here at the moment. Anyone for a petition?

Not according to the bulletin put out to dealers advising them that no GTDs were to be imported.

It is a bit unusual for a dealer to refuse a deposit on a car, unless it won't ever be delivered.

Completely agree, it's not looking good, VW Australia does have 2 though in the country... Saw them along with the GTIs, all LHD though...
