I look on VW's German website from time to time - there's more technical info, and it tells you about all the new stuff they're getting before us...
Most VW's (especially the Golf and Polo) are much cheaper there than here, generally they pay the same amount in Euros as we do in Pounds for the same car (used to be quite a difference when there was 1.45 Euros to the Pound).
Just specced a Scirocco up to a standard GT TDI, and it is 28300 Euros. They have just one trim level - "Sport" and to get it to UK GT trim spec, you need to pay for the Interlagos wheels, the high-line computer, the multifunction steering wheel, the ACC system, the 510 CD unit and the 2zone climate control.
I can't believe that the Germans are now paying more than us for their cars!
