My wife just bought a 2020 GTI yesterday. We were going to wait until the fall, but the 0% financing convinced us to do it now. That and what the dealer said about inventory. For us, it has to be VW, must be manual transmission and has to be a hatchback or wagon. That severely limits the amount of available cars. For example there were 7 cars in all of new york state and none at the factory that met those conditions. With covid-19 reducing inventory and the factories struggling to catch up, he said they would be focusing first on Tiguan's and Jetta's because they sell 300 of them for every 1 golf/gti. He was doubtful inventory will be any better in the fall. Add the fact that they aren't going to sell MK8 golfs in the US, only GTI's and R's, which will be made in Germany and it just doesn't seem like the 2021 Golf or GTI will be much of a priority at all for the Mexico plant.
Supposedly, there are making a 2021 GTI for the US, but how many?
