GTI has 3 door type approval in Aus, but not the R.

Any pricing rumours yet?

Dealers won't find out until Thurs/Fri next week so unless you're very well connected it's all best guess at this stage.

Tigger - Hi - is the release date for the vehicle (i.e. first supply) still on for about 12 April or has it moved to end of the month? - thanks

12th is the "official" date but dealers will get sent pricing info a day or two before.

Both Golf R and GTI PP are being launched on the same day.

I thought dealers were all attending the Eastern Creek launch Sat 12 April. With release of stock coming on stream to public the week after.

My understanding talking to one of my local dealers is that they are going for training the week following the "official" launch

It seems that dealers are interchanging the terms: official launch, public release etc and not really knowing what's happening.
I do know that the dealers are all heading to Sydney Sat 12/Sun13 for an Eastern Creek dealer familiarisation day though. And my guys are calling the week after this - the launch date.

I thought the PP already launched? There's just a GTI PP chilling out the front of one of the Brisbane VW dealers and didn't someone take delivery of one?
