A bit of a disappointment really, not much of an improvement on what we currently have.

Nevertheless, it's great that the car will be on the market for those who want a 'Roc!

I'm pleasantly surprised that VWA have decided that this halo model is worth the effort.

For a halo model, VWA doesn't advertise it much. I still get people on the street asking me what it is

I understand what you are saying. But there is not much I can see that will encourage us to upgrade to one of these when it is released.

Adam, could it be that because it's a facelift, it's really not so benevolent of VGA to decide to offer it here? If it were an all new model, they probably wouldn't.

Well, they will still need to get ADR approval for it, and produce all the marketing paraphernalia, and service support, and parts stocks... it adds up. Every new model (including facelifts) is an effort.

It's obviously not an overly difficult undertaking, but the way VWA has been cutting down on the models and variations it offers, this is at least some positive news.
