I may put up an EOI for my MY16 Golf R Wolfsburg (Hatch) in the coming months. I'm considering looking at buying the 7.5 edition.

I can't put an EOI yet in the For Sale section due to having <10 posts but if anyone is intrigued or interested, let me know!

I'd be interested if it is white.

Unfortunately not. It's blue.

Ok so yesterday I put a holding deposit on a Wolfsburg Hatch. They don't have prices yet for the Wolfsburg. They passed me a sheet from what seems to be VW Australia, saying the following:

- Early 2018 release, possibly March
- White Pearl, Lapiz Blue and Orux Black as colours
- Same bits and bobs as the original Wolfsburg (DAP standard, Carbon Napa Seats, Pretoria Wheels however they are Grey Metallic instead of black)
- Electric Seats with memory
- 400W Dynaudio
- Carbon finish folding mirrors
- Sunroof as only option for Wolfsburg
- Few other things too which I can't recall as the sheet is in my car

Dealer reckons similar pricing to last Wolfsburg. I have a clause where I can cancel if price is over 65000.

This article quotes $57,990 for the Wolfsburg hatch, plus ORCs:
2017 Volkswagen Golf R pricing and specs: Wagons and Wolfsburgs return to local line-up

Release is August.

Still DSG only?

Edit: read the article - ☹️

Why do they only offer manual in the hatch? Wagon only comes with DSG?

That's only in the standard R; the Wolfie is DSG-only in the hatch too.

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.
