vw.ca is your friend. They've got a normal site to configure things

That is correct - the configurator is no longer available. Which sucks.

I work for VW, so if you do have questions about the Touareg or available options, email me at jpidek@lindsayvw.com and I'll help however I can.

Thanks but I soooo can't afford a new Touareg. I'm more in the 4 year old GTI market.

Everytime I here some one talk about a Canadian website i think of Scott Pilgrim, when he's like "Amamzon.ca... whats the website for that?"

Haha, but on a serious note, they actually have a configurator on their site. We don't get all the same options though, unfortunately.

When do you guys put in orders for the next model year cars? ie. 2016 Golf/GTIs?

Because they "know" what the American buyers want. Don't you see all the sales success from the American specific models they sell to us???

2016s will probably be Sept/Oct timeframe, as far as we can tell; it's going to be a while before we have news on that though. Late January was when we started receiving the Perf. Pack GTIs, so it's been a bit slow.

I've seen pics of that rabbit before.. I've got a mkv GTI... and everytime I see that jack(ed) rabbit I'm all, "hmmmmmmmmmmmm"

Cool. I have a nice Golf right now but really want a PP GTI, so the longer I wait, the better I can afford it. I might check with the dealer and get in on the 2016 order, whenever that happens, so I can get CarPlay.

Gotcha. Fair warning as a VW employee, carplay isn't confirmed until orders are submitted and are confirmed by the factory...so yeah.

I'd actually have the accord if it was on airbags. But since I have to deal with potholes and small parking spots, the Rabbit works better for me.
