edit: i probably wouldnt opt for these seats even if avail, again i dont like the "ricer" sparco look thing going on, and the normal gti seats look better. i've sat in them, they're are good enough!

I doubt they'll make it to north america, seems like one of those things that they offer in europe, where you can actually decide what options you want on your car instead of just choosing 'Value package' or 'D-luxe package"

I would be tempted by these seats given the choice, I would like to try one out first of course. I need to find a way to get a new GTI......

even if they did come to N/A though they will probably take a rubber mallet and pound the bolsters down to fit all the fat asses before they ship them here

The crazy tartan patern is cool, i'd take me some of those.

A totally different question is how much the option will be!

Still prefer the Konigs from the MkIV R32.

Mr.Burns called me while he was on vacation in Vancouver cause he spotted a mk5 GTI (i guess they were filming a commerical!) Apparently he's even more sold on one after seeing it in person

I agree with Blair.... I really want one of the new GTI's.

Re: Mk5 R32 seats to be offered as GTI Option

I loved the new GTI in person, and the sport seats were comfy too....totally different car....Now, whether or not I would delve back into payments for one, I don't know......I also prefer the MkIV konigs to the new R seats.......

I like the look of the new MKV seats. They remind me of the vader seats in the e36 M3.

Re: Mk5 R32 seats to be offered as GTI Option

I don't know about the new look...I think I would definately pick the current R's Konig's over those....I guess I'd have to sit in them though. Oh, and what's this I hear about a GTI trim level for the MKV TDI? I would be all over that for the wife!

I dunno if vwsalesguy will take her as a trade-in...

Re: Mk5 R32 seats to be offered as GTI Option

I could be wrong, but I think it's "koenig", not to be confused with "konig"

Haha, you know what I mean....And ya, I think it might me "Koenig" not "Konig" like the wheels.
