Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

[Golf7]

I'd expect the color choice to be the same in mk7, although would be nice if they brought out one of the blues - the Polo GTIs look good in this. I assume it's the equivalent of 'night blue metallic'.. although there are at least four more variations of blue in peal effect as well.

I'll enquire about the colours, I'll see what they tell me... I'll keep you guys updated.

I believe they will do the same as the Mk 6 colour scheme to be honest.
When i picked up my car the dealer said it was the first blue one they had ordered in 2 years.

Turns out most people want 50 shades of grey/black/white for their cars.

Would be good - if you are able to actually provide any feedback at all, then I'm pretty sure a (slightly) expanded color range would be a positive. I realise adding more colors makes ordering/stock control more difficult, but surely at least a blue is do-able.

They can skip the 'minzgrun' green and 'ginstergelb' yellow though.

I've heard this too.. quite odd, although maybe it speaks about VW buyers.

And especially odd as I think your Tiguan looks awesome in that blue.

I'd quite like the blue that was on the Geneva car or the dark blue just to be a bit different haha

Example of the blue

I thought the idea was to leave blue for the R so that it stood out more

100% True, who would buy the R if they made the GTI in that colour???

[Cookie28]

The people who want AWD and the extra power but aren't too keen on tuning I guess

+ the people who order it in white

[FSI 220]

+ the people who would order it in wagon.... if they bothered (listening VW? i have a vacancy in my driveway waiting for the right WAGON to fit it!).
