My friend just went to purchase one and he couldn't negotiate any money off the posted price, so he walked.. I guess they must be in high demand?

I went yesterday, and was told there isn't really any moving on the price as well. I'd assume high demand.

Usually the case with new cars when they come out. I remember when Honda dealer wanted above msrp on the SI in 2006. Last winter they were selling them at 5000 below

Re: 2010 VW GTI mk6...who has one?

all 3 dealers in calgary had the same demo model and 4 drs instock. i was told by all 3 that those were the launch cars and inventory was slowly coming in based on dealer allocation. i guess my white 2 dr, leather, nav package was a rare option since i won't see mine until the end of the year or january.

Re: 2010 VW GTI mk6...who has one?

in vancouver bc clarkdale vw has a white 3dr hatch in stock. just under $34k with cloth interior, non-navi HU, 18" huffs.

as an mk5 owner, i'm mixed in my response to th3 mk6. looks nice in the back end with the new tailights and the dual exhausts, but the front.... cheap looking headlights do not impress.

the interior looks better in style, but the materials are cheaper... for example, my cloth seat inserts are quilted, the new ones are just plain patterned cloth.

and don't get me started with the huffs... the accents are now black, not grey, and it makes them look just nasty.

at least they lowered the ride height... no longer looks like a 4x4.

Re: 2010 VW GTI mk6...who has one?

So I went and drove one. 5 door DSG model with leather, 18s, no nav. Comapring it to MKV GTI the ride is definatelly quieter. Road noises don't make it into the cabin as much.
The engine still sounds great though. There is even more of a pop on upshifts which I think sounds really cool.

Ride height is definatelly lower and you sit lower in the car. The interior layout is pretty much the same as the MKV, but the changes they made make the interior even more upscale. The standard MDI screen is very cool but I am guessing it will have to be cleaned often since it's a touchscreen.

Didn't really get a chance to push it much and figure out if the new XDS system really works well but the car seems more buttoned down at speed and going over bumps. The exterior styling is really growing on me too. They had a white one on the lot too and it looks awsome in that color. I would still love to see the R20 here but I doubt that will happen. I was impressed by the GTI, I could only imagine how awsome an AWD version would be with 70 more hp!

Re: 2010 VW GTI mk6...who has one?

I personally like the black insert Hufs compared to the grey insert Hufs.

The MkVI has a nicer interior but I noticed the doors feel and sound really hollow and cheap. Yeah, weight reduction is nice but it felt like a flimsy American door.

I will keep my MkV and perhaps trade it in for an R20 if it has 5 doors and a manual. Otherwise I may jump ship and get a used 335i and slap a JB3 tune and downpipes on it for my DD. Or, I will just keep my MkV and buy a C6 Z06 for my weekend/summer toy!

Here are some pics of a MkVI from our MkV meet a couple weeks ago:
