Almost a GTI... This is for people who are willing to pay more that 20k euros for a hot hatch but are too cheap-a55 to pay for gas and performance!

and road tax, and insurance, two not-inconsiderable amounts of money... i do think that VW is selling the "GTD" brand short by not giving it the Monza IIs and a different exhaust layout. if you're gonna make a diesel GTI, make it properly

A real waste, I was hoping this would look the same the GTI then I would have potentially parted with my current car. I owned the MK V GTi and which was great, this is just the same 170d diesel engine they put into their last generation golf GT. As it is I will stick with my 3 door BMW 120d M sport, it's faster, more economical, better emissions. The wheels and sport kit also look better Where's the auto stop star feature on the engine, charging of electrics etc. BMW have proved you can be sporty and enviromentally friendlier. As someone else stated where are the 18" Monza 2 alloys, it's like your being penalised for buying a diesel, bet it will also cost the same if not slightly more.

Very nice!! I feel if VW was to just slap a TDi engine in a GTi, GTi buff would have negative thing to post or say. VW can never win with the same bunch of critics online. I feel VW did well with the GTD; bring to the U.S. you have a buyer here!

Common Rail. Hope they're bringing it to the U.S.A., so we have less of 'em here in Europe...

Stop complaining about 18" wheels, that will do nothing but reduce the acceleration, something of key importance here. I think VW have done a great job.
