No idea why you'd rush in for the first batch of Golf 7 GTI's when the GTI PP is just around the corner. I'd wait to see what the PP GTI has to offer for only a small price increase ... best to drive GTI Std and GTI PP back to back to be sure.

VW have released the official specs of what is and what isn't standard, I think they are posted some place earlier in this discussion.
Putting a deposit on a car 'can' be fraught with danger, but isn't if you make sure of a few things. Having a good relationship is a good starting point, however the wording is key. Put conditions in such as 'subject to buyer approval of price should there be an increase' and buyer has right to cancel if car isn't delivered by xxx'.
In the case of the new GTI there isn't a problem in the world. NO dealer is going to hold to an early car that hasn't been prebuilt to some crazy combination of specs. I am comfortable if I don't go ahead with the car I have 'reserved', the dealer will have it sold to someone else in no time.

How about those mets.
You can't assume dealer delivery prices are fixed between dealers of the same car, let alone other manufacturers' dealers. Further, ORCs vary substantially from state to state (and vary based on the purchase price of the vehicle).
You are certainly better off waiting until early October when prices are released, before jumping to any conclusions and purchasing another car. Unless price is not the deciding factor, of course.

Sold: 2010 MkVI Volkswagen Golf GTI DSG
Every state and probably every dealer has different "on road costs" or "drive away price". You certainly cannot assume the drive away price is the same for a VW and another manufacturer. Yes they are all under the VWA group but will always charge differently. I reckon Audi would try to get away with charging more for screwing on your number plates for instance!
Unless I'm blind, I can't see where VW have released any official specs for the GTI. I don't know where those scanned images came from. They sound about right though.
I'm just saying be VERY careful signing ANY contract when prices or specs have not been announced. A contract is a contract.
