How boring!

Post by scirocco »

How boring must I be but after 2 years of happy motoring in my 2.0l TSI i've just ordered a new one with exactly the same spec and colour :) It will be interesting to see how the new engine compares to my first generation version.

Role on January....

Originally, project number VW370 was scheduled to enter production in January 2012. But owing to the sales success of the Golf Mk6 and the difficult economic climate, the launch dates were put back by eight months minimum. Here is our understanding of the roll-out for new Golf Mk7 family:
• Sept 2012, Golf mk7 three- and five-door hatchback
• Jan 2013, Golf Variant estate
• Feb 2013, Golf Plus
• Dec 2013, Touran replacement
• Apr 2014, new Scirocco :yes: :yes: :eyepop:
• Aug 2014, new Tiguan and Tiguan XXL
• Nov 2014 Golf Cabriolet
The engines on the new 2012 VW Golf Mk7
The petrol engine range is expected to look like this:
• 1.2TSI, 86bhp/120lb ft
• 1.2TSI, 105bhp/130lb ft
• 1.4TSI, 122bhp/150lb ft
• 1.4TSI, 160bhp/185lb ft
• 2.0TSI, 180bhp/240lb ft
• 2.0TSI GTI, 220bhp/260lb ft
• 2.0TSI R 4Motion, 300bhp/295lb ft
The latest news on all vw ranges... 2014 will be the new model not a facelift. Hope they won't ruin the aggressive look of the scirocco :faint: loving that the gti will be 220bhp and the r 300bhp

Watch them cock it up and give the Roc a flatter version of a generic Golf face, remove the ACC and charge us more for it...

The Roc needs to stay unique in the range. Anyone got any ideas what the new one will look like if it is a completely new model? Thinking it might look a lot like the Audi Quattro concept model you can see on the Audi website right now.
2013 - Tornado Red MK7 Golf GTD on order
2011-2013 - Rising Blue 170GT
