Blasted this post as I could not post a link.
I remember that well, it was quite risqué when I was a kid. I think kids today would somehow think it was a bit tame, or "lame" I think is said now. The feel old
Hmm, quite a conversation or too going on here.
Any hoo, a mate of mine has just taken delivery of a Golf GTE. 1.4 petrol hybrid thing that is ............bloody fantastic! I can't wait for the T6 version, which I can't see any reason for not being around the corner. Put the 2ltr TSI engine and a few electric motors in and away you go.

As a newbie and sometime lurker here I happen to be in the market for a new T6
I also live in London with its Low Emmission Zone and the nearby central Ultra low emmision zone. I think it'll just take one swipe of Mayor Sadiq Khan's pen which could be at any time, especialy after the election, to extend the ULZ right across London making the prospect of a petrol T6 very appealing and dropping the residuals of diesels around this part of the world significantly.
Ho hum, time to mark time methinks
Great forum BTW

I shall be ordering my Petrol T6 on June 1st
Ha ha
Good on you, me jealousy us, pah!...but you can't just throw a pebble and watch for ripples, I need more info than that.
Is that when orders can be placed? Likely ETA? How does the purchase cost compare with a diesel? Whats the expected fuel consumption?
Come on fella, fess up, it your trade links that moved this on.

MY18 brings the petrol TSI to the Panel, kombi, shuttle and California from June 1st. The pricing and model availability will available soon. Not much more than that at present. Its exciting times ahead.
Yep, and you'll probably end up with a really good 4 motion system as part of the deal
Petrol engines cars are cheaper to buy but knowing VW they will find ways of charging more
1st June and you'll be able to order one
Ok, I accept that petrol is coming back, but what will happen to Co2 levels with all these under powered petrol engined vans revving their arses off to get along the roads? Yes, before you start, I know 200bhp is plenty of power , but NM is where its at with a van, and these TSI engines don't have many. And I don't want to go from 40mpg to 20mpg .
you wont need to go from 40mpg to 20mpg.......vw's figures for the petrol engine will be a work of fiction.....real world will be totally different! You can bet your boots it'll cost more than the diesel because they'll need to claw some money back for the emissions scandal.....not only that, they'll trade on the fact that everyone seems to be freaking out over diesel!!!
I believe it's the Ea888 engine in the T6 and I've yet to drive one. However this engine is hardly underpowered and certainly has lots of torque. In its other applications across the VW range, the power is so linear, you feel it's a bigger engine with no turbo charger. It's a cracking engine.
At present petrol it's self is cheaper so there will be savings to be had at the pump. But I'm sure that will change once they start selling more petrols that diesels!
