Can't wait for the MK7 honestly, mostly because of the new technology the engine will pack. Please VW bring it to the US in Q3 2013!
I assume that the US version will be packaged the sameway as the MK6 2011 going foward, and MKV. My dealer told me that we as American's generally dont like options, we like packages more. So I assume that it will have the same general packages.
It could get the Climatronic climate control, but my dealer said that when VW introduces a new model, they usually give it one or two options more in its first year of production for the US, then pull it (2006 GTI had dual zone climatronic, 2007-on did not. new Passat had climatronic, its been pulled for its second year, 2010 MK6 had RNS-510, 2011 on had RNS-315.) to help with boosting the initial sales of the vehicle...
I don't know but I think thats weird, and its safe to say if I get a MK7, most likely will be in the first production year...
It is very highly likely. 95%+ likely.
I think VW going with packages was mostly for cost savings (fewer variations to build).
Also, don't forget, the first year of a new model usually gets more of the bells and whistles (since that is usually the only version reviewed by the press). For example, the 2010 MK6 had the RCD-510 (big touch screen radio) as a stock option. That was gone in 2011+.
So far here's what I'm hearing (NA Models):
- No Multiport injection for US models
- No nifty slide rail coolant pump
- No Performance package [Brakes and LSD] (Being petitioned by VWVortex to VWoA)
- 3 Colors upon release.

Wow....that's a big deal breaker for me. I was going to wait but if that's true I'm just going to get an MK6.
