Damn, looks legit. But when will they hit the states? New year I guess?

Stop-start system. Hah! As if these things didn’t eat batteries enough. Regret doing a 2017 for a couple things, but glad it doesn’t have that crap.

They are already packing on the additional nanny systems, and I'm sure as time goes on it will eventually be fully automated. First they will take our manual, then they will come for the automatics and then your license

I am torn between a GTI Autobahn and Golf R.

Pleasantly surprised they kept the base model under $40K.

Me too. Superb value for money. And a very pleasant surprise, frankly.

A less than pleasant surprise are the "Englishtown" wheels. Will Pretoria's be an option in the US?

What do Englishtown wheels look like? Maybe just a US market name? Seems like these are the wheels: https://media.vw.com/gallery/images/7560

I know I'm in the minority, but I dig those wheels. I have a feeling more people will be won over when they see them in the flesh. Pret's are nice but they are rather plain-looking and there are similar aftermarket designs. These are unique.

I like them too. They're actually similar to the old design, but angular instead of straight.
