are all TDI models in the GT range?

Post by Slippy »

im just looking through the brochure, and im not sure if its misleading or not, but in the back there is no "2.0 litre TDI", but rather its called the "Scirocco GT, 2.0 litre TDI"

which begs the question, are all the TDI models GTs?

the reason i ask, is because the GT comes as standard with interlagos 18s, as opposed to those 17" Donningtons...

if anyone can shed some light on this i would appreciate it.

In the UK it is a Scirocco & a Scirocco GT spec level versions of the 2.0TDi 140 and there is a Scirocco GT spec level 2.0TDi 170. All are Common Rail diesels (CR). All Manual or DSG, ie 6 models. Scirocco has 17" Donningtons, GT has 18" Interlagos as standard.

The brochure doesnt say Scirocco GT, it says, Scirocco , GT. Look at the price list, it has all the spec etc

could you not upgrade your alloys on your order before delivery Slippy? or do you have your eye on some specific aftermarket ones?
