This is where VW need to stop fart arsing around, and actually give the Australian market specifications like the Highline and price it competitively.

We all wear the costs of extra depreciation by speccing up cars like GTI and comfortline all because the creature comforts we want are options instead of standard features. I've long been unhappy that there's no Highline Golf.
Well... MB have beaten VW to the punch in speccing a really nice 2Ltr car.
I know some people may like a stripped down R, but I'm sure there are others who for $50k even today have an "optioned up" GTI that is around that sticker price. This is where the MB starts to make sense - plus will depreciate less than the similarly specc'ed GTI.
Come on VW... start giving us customers some value here. Look how long it took VW to add bluetooth or cruise control for the Trendline !
