First and Last GTI
« on: July 12, 2016, 09:36:11 pm »
Hi guys,

40 years ago the Golf GTI was launched and was the only car with a GTI badge. Many have come and gone along the way (Peugeot 205 GTI, Suzuki Swift GTI etc.).

And now we are at the stage again where the Golf again is alone to bear the GTI badge. Am I right in assuming this?

(The Polo doesn't count as it's the Golf's younger brother).

Just a thought I had so thought I'd share. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
