Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

Re: Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

I can't believe they can introduce a new car like that and it STILL doesn't hold a full jug of washer fluid!!

I thought the Germans were smart cookies!!

It is kinda annoying. Cant be that difficult to fit a 4 or 5litre resevoir in the engine bay.

Vr6 corrado's can hold 7litres for some reason.

mk4's with headlamp washers as options in europe get a 5L tank.

I suppose we'll have firm pricing after NAIAS? Jan 4th ish? I know I'm going to drop a brick once I see the price of the GTI. Maybe there's hope for a 5 door Golf instead. But since VWoA is at least a year and a half behind the game, I don't think there's enough incentive from VW to stop me from picking up a new Civic instead. :(

Honestly, there is never any real incentive from VWOC. However the fact that the new civic (IMO) is garbage in comparison to any VW should prompt you to wait just a little longer.

Re: Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

All I want for incentive from VW is the Golf V and a model that costs less than $20K and gets better than 8.0 l/100 km (City) to use as a commuter. And it should have been here when the Golf V came out in Europe, not this "let's feed them the Jetta for a year" nonsense.

Most of us here don't hate VW's, we just know their flaws and are secure enough to admit them.

Re: Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

ahem, polo......I hate the name fox...it sounds cheap...Everyone in NA thinks of the fox as a piece of crap tin can....they would be committing that car to corrado fate if they introduce it as such....bring it over as the polo and nobody would know better

Im not so sure of that. I had a 88 Fox wagon in the family and it was a great car. However this is all speculation at this point. VWOC needs to do a better job at proving there is a market with the sub compact before we see anything like a polo, fox, lupo.... ect

Re: Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

the polo and the fox are not the same car. not even close.

I could not agree more, i was just listing names of sub compacts.

Re: Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

so when do the 4 doors get here? According to the PDF file the 4 doors are delayed.

Re: Taking Orders for MK5 GTI

Dealer pricing in the US shows it's about 1500 cheaper than a GLI which is good news indeed! 23K for sunroof and DSG, people are actually surprised.

Yea I saw that today, pretty cool! Hopefully the 4 doors don't take too long.

I wish we had a GLI here
