I am reading so much conflicting information about the specs of this car for the US and was hoping to clear some things up.
1) Some articles say that engine is all new to the GTI, other say it is a carry-over from previous year with a little more power. Which is it?
2) References to the application of a LSD are superceded by XDS, a system that applies the brakes to a slipping wheel...aka braking traction control.
3) I have also read articles that state that the 2010 suspension is all new or improved...and articles that say it is unchanged.
I am in the market for a new car now, and will need to decide what to do by next month. I am hearing that the MkVI should arrive in the states by September or October, so I obviously can't wait that long.
All that said, if the engine is a carry-over from the 2009 model, and the 2010 does not really have a limited slip differential, with the same suspension, the only changes are really in appearance.
I like the new look of the MkVI, but I already like the look of the MKV. Is it worth the wait over an MKV now?
