Mine will be here mid-Dec. Silver, 6 spd, 2 door, every option but leather. Just like a GTI was meant to be.

If it was my money, I'd probably go GTI as well (AWD is nice, but not imperative for me). I wish they had a few more color choices though...how cool would it be if you could get paint to sample GTIs.
That and VW needs to start doing Euro Delivery! That would probably be the most enticing reason for me to buy a new car.
I love that you can still get nice cloth in a Golf. The quality of leather tends to be pretty ####ty these days in a lot of cars (and don't even get me started on alcantera), to the point where I'd much rather just have nice cloth.
