Yes, the US gets screwed as usual. We'll get the 'base' sports seats in cloth as standard. If you want the "top sports seats", then you'll have to spring for leather/Autobahn package.
Personally, I think that sucks and would gladly pay for top sports seats in cloth. Ain't gonna happen though. Oh, and "Jacky" versus the current Interlagos plaid pattern. woohoo, be still my beating spleen......................
I hope that they do throw up the new MK 6 website again Saturday. The prices that were posted earlier made me very happy. They decontented but only jacked the base price up by $90. HID's are only $600 and the Dynaudio upgrade $400. Given the extreme pain VW gets put through via recession and the dollar's freefall versus the Euro lately, I think we get a pretty good deal all things considered. Plus VW is going to take it up the kiester over the negative DSG public perception in the US not to mention a lot of very expensive repairs/replacements in the recently announced safety recall.
