6th Sept, means 2 more months...
Malaysia really slowpoke in cars

mk7 golf should be in launched in september if all the rumours are true.

its not even launch in oversea, bolehland often get the goody last.. always lag by 1 or 2 years
Cant recall any model that we get it earlier right after launching in oversea.. (except P1 n P2)

Anyone know when VW is going to locally assemble the Jetta?

hand itchy can always grey import
from what i've been reading the new MQB thinking means everything is going to simplify to improve performance.
even twin scroll turbo become single scroll, i dunno if this is a good direction or not as i thought twin scroll is better.

u jetta be kidding me

official launch n grey import different story lo bro.. yes.. likely gonna drop the supercharge

ECU still the same. just that a new map is loaded into it. during the process, just connect the laptop to a port below the steering.and wait for 15-30mins to download. afterwards voila.

should be even more attractive price. but can the quality be good? rattles,windnoise etc are common probs for vw

September is the time the golf mk7 gets revealed in the 2012 Paris car show, not the time they start selling it. Even Europe will have to wait until end of year or beginning of 2013. And if the trend follows, GTI usually gets launched later (for mk6 it's a year later I think), correct me if I'm wrong. Not trying to be a wet towel, just want to give you a more realistic estimate on when you can get your hands on the car whichever channel you're going for.

Anyway PKR is pledging to abolish car tax if they're voted. I just got my car for a month lol. Crap. I hope existing car owners get some sort of tax refund on the taxes we paid for the cars.

sad, hope they fix turbo lag if without super

next ge probably not gonna happen if things continue like this.

Currently Singapore only have Beetle 1.2, hope that by September Malaysia will have all 1.2, 1.4 and 2.0 variant.
Heard that 1.4 is selling at 160k

1.4 selling at 160k seems reasonable as Golf 1.4 is also fall in that range.
Hopefully 1.2 will be selling around 110k

Still can't understand why scirocco cost 188k? Still 1.4.. If the beetle is about 160k, then Rocco is really overpriced... :-(

If sirocco sell at 160k the golf tsi over price..188k is good pricing position

??? Golf and scirocco same platform, same engine, same hp n etc... Shouldnt them be same price or more or less ???

-:Edited:-
you mentioned the ECU for Jetta must be removed..
below is the reason right?

Quoting Mavik in another thread.:Note that not all cars can just be easily loaded into the ECU via a program. VW lately has been doing a lot of security measures which requires the ECU to be removed and benched (e.g. taking out the ECU, remove the tamper safe screws and then direct mapping there). The removal of the tamper safe screws is obvious to the dealers to know that the ECU has been tampered with.
Unquote.

in UK golf GTI is about 18k, Scirocco is about 20k which is 10% diff.

I think this is correct price for VW malaysia
