hmm no mention of price ... If its at least 5g cheaper than an A3 then it would be a good deal.

I'm looking to buy an S4 in the spring, but OMG the new white GTi looks sooooo good. I sat in the new GLi, and was very unhappy with the quality of the interior, it seemed very plasticy. Also the gauges and steering wheel sizes seem to have been poorly laid out, hold the wheel at "10 and 2" and you cna barely see the gauges.

The new GTi has been all over the www.vwvortex.com news boards, I'm going to the Philly and NY autoshows in the next few months just to see it, and hopefully some other expensive supercar stuff.

I remember our briefing at work and I'm pretty sure the 3 door is somewhere around 23K?

Well for the B5, in my parts, depending on milage, tranny, color, and whether it's a sedan or Avant you can find one from the 18k-28k range.
