I suspect it's all down to what VWA thinks will sell. For example, the GTI PP here is a distinct model (DSG only) but in Europe it's an option box tick on the GTI and therefore can be had with manual or DSG cars.

Are they implying wagon drivers are slow old balding men who don't like to change gears and use their left leg?

It would certainly seem that way. I only bought an R because the standard GTI was a bit too tame and the PP was DSG-only. So on that basis, it was perfect up-selling by VW!

Has anyone here purchased one of these?
Just wondering what price they are going for.
Cheers

Pricing is out. $59,990 for the hatch and $59,990 for the wagon. $1900 if you want a sunroof. You need to add on-roads to those figures and then haggle. I'm guessing most people should manage low 60s. I can't remember what the full on-roads are.

I've ordered and paid a deposit but I haven't discussed a price with my dealer yet. I must get around to that...

I've also put a deposit down on a hatch with sunroof, but no final price yet. 57,990 plus sunroof and drive away, I'm guessing 63ish. My dealer set they should be putting their orders in by the end of the month.

Dealer delivery is going to be the biggest killer in the final price unfortunately.

I'm still looking to get rid of my Mk7 Wolfsburg...

I'm thinking about swapping my Mk7 R (white, non-Wolfsburg). I've always wanted a blue R and the 7.5 spec might be enough to tip me over the edge if I can make the maths work.

See I'd rather sell privately to get more $$ but it's easier to trade-in. 42izh Dom a dealer who relies on Redbook is not encouraging.

Yeah, I did a crazy good deal on the trade-in when I bought this car but typically I'd sell privately (having 2 cars makes this easier too from a logistics perspective).
