Gotha, I would have loved to get your seats if we had the option here as I generally prefer cloth.

Actually, you can order a sunroof a la carte. See my post with car details but yes, I have GTI on the way with a sunroof, base sport seats in cloth, 17" wheels (hate the Huffs so tirerack.com here I come), HID's, Nav & Dynaudio.

None. The top one is Mark 6, the second one is Mark 5. Both are not available in North America.
We get this below in North America.

Your information is either outdated or wrong. According to the NA vw.com website the mk6 will be getting the new cloth seats.

I guess its is too hard for you to read the whole thread. So, I'll just requote myself with the "new cloth seats".
Nowhere in the link you posted does it say the new cloth "top sport" seats. It is simply new regular sport seats as in new plaid pattern.

Here is another picture.
Sample of what the new Mark 6 GTI plaid checkered will look like.

I really would like leather, but our cloth seats seem so much higher quality than other newer cars I've sat in... Plus its original. I wouldn't mind either one, I just want a sunroof lol

See my post above. You can get a sunroof as a stand alone option. The seats are really good even in "base" form. I'd skip the leather, save the money and go do something fun with it. Driving classes, track time or a hell of a night at your local strip club! Hey - Vegas, there's an idea

Lol thats true... Maybe put that money towards Votex? :23:
But your config for your GTI is EXACTLY what I would like to have out the gate. Sunroof and HID's are a must for me

Aww man, we're not going to get the seats with the red stitching? That really sucks, because the red stitching really makes the interior pop.
I really want to upgrade from my Fit, and I was super excited about the Mk6 GTI, but the more I learn about the US version the more apprehensive I get. The seats are inferior to the European GTI, Xenons aren't standard, and the base price will be more than the Mk5 GTI. By the time I get the nice options on the MK6 it will probably approach 30k, and at that price there are a ton of other cars to consider.
Maybe I will just try to catch a good deal on a Mk5...

I think the US seats will have the stitching. If you go look on VW's site currently under the "future/upcoming vehicles" and the GTI photos, you'll see the plaid seats with red stiching on the seams. I just don't think it showed well in the photo above.

Great minds think alike :lol: If I was back in Jersey or drove a lot in DC, I'd have to break down and get DSG. My left knee literally still has an old lacrosse injury (partially torn lateral meniscus) and an hour or so of heavy stop & go traffic hurts. Fortunately, I work in Baltimore and the traffic there is nothing compared to the first two so a stick is no big deal for me.
I don't think we're getting the Votex kit here and I'd never personally slap all that stuff on anyway. We will probably get the Thunderbunny kit which I think is hideous.
