So I'm in the states and I'm confused with the MK7 R headlights. Which one is the turn signal? Then what's the purpose of the remaining lamp? Is it a fog?

turn signal at the bottom.

fog light or parking lights the one you circled?

The one to the centre of the car is just containing this little ”parking light” led square, noting else. It’s a decoration……

That goes for ordinary Golf Xenon cars to.

Added for R is the extra centre U-DRL:s, but that's obvious I suppose :).
No fog lights on R (don't miss fog's, no use for them, fog's always have bad light according to my experience).

Ok that makes sense now. It's a bummer that inner lamp is fake.

On a second note, does anyone have the cloth interior? I hope we get that option in the U.S.

I read on another forum that the inner lens does contain the parking light, but also is the dynamic cormering light that 'turns' into bends and only comes on above a certain speed, hence cannot be seen lit-up whilst car is stationary. you could always email VW and ask them?

please email vw, and request cloth seats as an option for the united states! and everyone else who reads this please do the same (if enough requests come in, hopefully they'll consider it). even if you're not from north america send them an email, if not for us, think of the cows! :D

It's leather or nothing.

this.

I don't want cloth, sure it can be an option but this will mean we have to pay more for a package to get leather :(

Throw the word "alcantara" or "sport" on it, and charge a premium for the cloth seats, I'll pay it! Or make cloth seats available as a dealer orderable add on item. Could buy that and make some classy house furniture from the leather.

We get cloth as standard in uk, we have to pay £1700 if we want leather and I refuse to pay that much when you get leather on a BMW for £1000.

In your climate leather should have a cooling option but I wouldn't object to getting for free as it's less hassle to keep clean. I agree you should have cloth as an option though.

Although if I lived in America I would be fighting for a 3 dr version.

It costs too much to bring two types of cars to NA, so that's why the first year only 4 door, maybe in the near future they will build the 3 door once Mexico plant supports AWD. I have a 3 door right now and the doors are too long and a pain to get in and out from the back.
