MY19 Golf details?

[westenderbender]

What VW will be doing is WLTP testing the highest volume sellers in each category first.

Manual is a niche model variant so this will be towards the end of the list for getting tested. My guess is you'll likely see it come back in 6-12 months but only once they've cleared the backlog of DSG cars for testing.

Really doubt VAG will bring manuals back to the market, at least in Australia

I still think you'll find them in entry level models and limited production runs in GTI/R models.
