Golf 8 Premiere

[Sharkie]

If they make it in the supplying factory, we should be able to order it. In this day and age, an archaic method of supply is not going to get them any more customers. They will lose existing customers by the droves who will go elsewhere.

I'm happy to pay and to wait till my order can be delivered. Unless I can order a manual Mk8 Golf R I will buy from a different brand in 18 months time when my R comes off lease. (A45S is looking mighty tasty)

BTW, the TC auto is a good thing in my opinion too .... it removes 1 guaranteed timebomb from the equation

This situation with Volkswagen Australia has me confused and annoyed! They claim that the new 1.5tsi/DCT gearbox combination won't make it here because of our poor fuel quality due to outdated fuel emission regulations, yet the Skoda Scala and Audi A1 is available for sale in Australia right now with that very engine/gearbox combination! Don't bullsh#t us Volkswagen!!! It also annoys me that the motoring media here in Australia haven't addressed this obvious fact!

Disappointing!
Glad I settled on a 2020 Golf R.
Hopefully in 5 years they will have the line up sorted.
