Hi, new to the group, hope these questions are appropriate (if not, moderator, please feel free to move them):
1) Does anyone know what accounts for the ~300 lb weight difference between the US and European versions of the GTI? From US specs, curb weight is listed as 1500-1520 kg and on VW Spain site (sorry, I can't read German, but confirmed on autoblog.com), spec lists 1336-1355 kg w/o driver.
2) When the 5-door version comes to the US in July, does anyone know if it will still be built in Germany or moved to Mexican production?
Thanks much in advance!
