But focusing on the launch of the Golf GTI and GTD first...

Good... like many, this is my preferred next car although the all wheel drive Golf R might have to do if this doesn't work out. By the time it gets here (if at all), it will be almost obsolete...

You mean like the Golf GTI Pirelli ?

IIRC they had all been been made nearly 9 months before they first started to actually hand them over to paying customers, and they are still selling them now, some months after the Golf Mk 6 came onto the Oz market. They must have been sitting in a holding yard for ages while VWA got their act together and finally started to sell them.

Just read the Drive article about it and VWA are worried about it taking
sales from the GTI, so they think they might just import the more expensive R model,
so people cant afford it and have to buy the GTI.
Great thinking VWA

VWA have been blowing hot and cold on the Scirocco since it was a gleam in the designer's eye. In England Sciroccos are cheaper than the equivalent Golf. You wait. Next year it will be "We might bring it out after the Golf R" then it will be "The Mk VII Golf is coming out." Meanwhile, by NOT ruling it out, VWA stops RAWS workshops from importing Sciroccos.
