You can be assured that the GTi will have a RVC and sat nav as the Highline 103Tsi does!

So, if VW could slip a GTI onto the Oz market at the same price as the outgoing model but now including 18 inch rims and sat nav/rvc then I think most people would be happy for this as a base spec.

With the crippling of the leasing market I think you will find manufacturers releasing models where once standard luxury items (HID, sunroofs etc) are relegated to the option list to bring prices down for self funding buyers (loan, cash etc)
Why is satnav such an important deal? You could easily say throw in bixenon for the same price. FWIW I find the pricing on satnav map updates makes it a less compelling feature vs something like a Garmin or Tom Tom with lifetime map updates.
