Official Cornflower Blue GTI / Golf Thread

[PRRGG1]

CFB remains a rare color. After five months, I finally saw another one on a 2019 Rabbit. We stopped, introduced ourselves and had a nice chat. I don't think he'd ever seen another CFB.

Agree. @PRRGG1 I have seen a few CFB ‘21s in Autobahn trim, but it is definitely still super rare to see a CFB Rabbit. I do a lot of driving here in Ontario, too, which is one of our largest markets in Canada. Still, it’s really uncommon to see a ‘19 slick top.

I think it’s a bigger slap in the face to rabbit owners that they offered cornflower blue to Taos owners compared to offering it to 2021 GTI owners.

You could at least make the argument the 2021 was the last year for the 7 and therefore special. I was very close to getting a blue 21 se, too for this reason and I’m glad I didn’t.

The taos is the opposite of special… any year…

I have seen 2 or 3 CFB's besides mine here on Vancouver Island, not sure if Rabbits or GTI though. Betting that CFB is the Taos' most ordered colour based on the compliments and comments I get on mine. My dealer has 2 new, both white and $40,000 Cdn

Look for the black sunroof. If it has one, it’s an Autobahn. If it doesn’t, it’s a Rabbit. Rabbits came without a sunroof option and are the only CFB cars built that way - at least here in Canada. @kilby

On a sunny Friday afternoon, nothing better than cruising some nice backroads!

Yeah 2021 CFB Autobahn has to be the hottest besides a GFG Autobahn GTI. I absolutely love the Belvederes, coolest wheels offered on the 7/7.5 GTI for sure.

Don’t quit your day job for photo editing bud. I think it would’ve looked better unedited

I don't think I ever updated this thread with mods on my CFB.

Black vinyl wrapped the back half of the roof
TCR Clubsport Rear Diffuser
AWE Track catback exhaust with black diamond tips
Neuspeed Power Module

I just ordered EMD Lowering Springs, they'll be installed in about 2 weeks per my mechanic.

Wrap pics from the day of at the local GTI Wrap gods place with his silver wrapped GTI that is black and yellow. So dope.

Anyone know the official # of units of CFB made by VW in 2021? Curious to see how many CFB's were made and sold in the US in both 19 for the Rabbit edition and in 21.

Someone just picked one up on Cars and Bids.

When I bought mine, the Dealer told me that a total of 700 CFB's were imported to the U.S.A. for the 21 MY, all either SE or Autobahn trims. Half were DSG, half 6M. I have no way to verify.

In nearly two years, I've seen only one other CFB, a '19. We nearly crashed our cars when we saw each other [ ]. We stopped and had a nice chat.
