hi all,
I'll be looking to p/x my glx for a mk5 gti in the near future, but wondered where VW are planning a GTI for the new shape polo?
I don't want to buy a mk5 gti and then VW bring out the new one, sending the value of the mk5 GTI plumeting.
Any comments or info, even speculation would be appreciated......
Taa

The TDi PD 100 is fast on the motorway and fuel economy is superb, I would recommend one as the torque really does pull you along at a surprising rate. It certainly dispatches most GTi's from the 50-70 70-90 range.
Sorry about that, as far as a GTi I heard they will put the 180bhp 1.8T in there, it will be the R model. I imagine they will also put the 130bhp tdi to cater for the diesel boys.
VW even considerred putting the V5 motor in there but it apparently upset the handling due to its weight.

GTI
Well, I don't know if this is true or not, but I keep hearing about a 1.8T version GTI. Our German friends even claim to have spotted a camouflaged one on the autobahn... All this is from German sites and forums. I'll keep my fingers crossed...
Not sure if this will work, as it;'s a very long url. Anyway, here goes:

Scroll to the bottom, past the MKV golf stuff:
- looks lower (could be sitting on melbournes or barcelonas - hard to tell)
- side skirts
- xenons? (headlamp wash)
I'm not confident about the picture, as the third from top - supposed to be the MKV golf GTI, looks like the new polo, albeit with slightly distorted rear clusters.
And the front valence - same profile as the Lupo GTI - could some photoshopping be going on here?
Still the engine sounds good!
(But given that "250 ten thousand yen" is £131,500, I'm beginning to have my doubts about it!!!)
What do you guys think?
(All this from still searching for web evidence to support the purcahse of the Lupo GTI (it's still sitting at my dealers. hmm...))
(Haven't seen these picture of MKV golf anywhere else, either).
