New blue???
As in the deep blue colour that they get everywhere else or the same old baby blue on the Aus delivered tig's?

The new Biscay Blue, well new for Australian Tigs anyway. Not the bright Catalina Blue, that was discontinued after they finished building the MY09s.
I think its the same that you could get on Touaregs, its darker, found this pic of a Touareg in Biscay Blue

That is one very nice car. Don't forget to take a camera with you to take pictures right in the showroom.

From that Toureg pic it looks a very nice blue. Can't wait to see your pics!

Mmmm photos please!!!!
I think the biscay blue is the same blue as the R series in other VW models...

I think it will look GREAT! I didn't like the Catalina Blue either!
Can't wait to see your photos - and hear of your "WOW I love this" initial experiences like so many of us have had!

Friend of mine just ordered a Biscay Blue arriving in December, be good to see one in the metal, by the way;

Here it is

The blue looks gorgeous, love it love it love it. I'm a terrible photographer so that is the only pic a managed to get in the dealer that hasn't got glare and crappy colour quality. Haven't taken other photo's yet, and will have to clean it before I do, the kids have walked 3 kilos of mud into it already. Aaargh blood pressure!

Haven't had a chance to drive it much yet, d'oh, but have noticed a few things that I didn't on the test drive!

Like the MFD tells me when to change up a gear - i.e. tootling along at 60kph I should be in 5th, or at 70 I should be in 6th. The controls are numerous and will take me a while to get used to I think

I got the manual out last night. Dealer went through alot during delivery but I was lalalala excited and didn't take it all in

And I did get the Golf dash panel, all in white, but doesn't look as crappy as in those MY2010 pics from Poland or wherever. Isn't as snazzy as the red/blue though. Pretty sure I'll cope though
