Whens there a facelift to the mk7 r? mk8???

[Chris1H]

In the market for a mk7 R... However is there a facelift version due anytime soon on the mk7 R. or any revisions due/special eds?

Read in the old "auto express" the mk8 is due back end of the year possibly after the frankfurt motorshow? is that true?

Worth waiting till the value drops more or what? Prices seem to be dropping steadily atm on them

Facelift yes, probably (we're at middle of the current generation life expectancy), new generation not so soon: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/golf/92375/new-vw-golf-gti-mk8-on-sale-in-2019-with-big-power-boost.

If you are thinking new or very near it would be criminal not to wait for the 420, 300 horses seemed huge when released, but considerably less than a lot of the soon to be released competition, not that I consider the new focus rs as competition, it is a ford after all.
Can't see a facelift to the r just yet, not even been 2 years yet, but you never know.

Lets be realistic! the 420 is going to be costing around the 40k mark standard... few extras 45k! well out of my league that.
